Indian equity benchmarks closed slightly higher on Tuesday, with both the Sensex and Nifty 50 rising 0.15 per cent. Gains were led by information technology (IT) and oil marketing companies (OMCs), buoyed by easing crude oil prices and positive global cues. GIFT Nifty futures signal a firm start on June 12, reflecting sustained investor optimism.

HCL Technologies
On Wednesday, HCLTech shares rallied after the IT major announced an expanded partnership with The Standard Insurance Company to integrate artificial intelligence into its operations. With global tech sentiment positive and foreign fund inflows into IT, HCL is poised to attract continued investor interest. The Nifty IT index itself rose 1.26 per cent, indicating broad strength in the sector.
Minda Corp
Minda Corporation announced a joint venture with Japan’s Toyodenso to manufacture advanced automotive switches. The JV will be established with a 60:40 equity split and will set up a new facility in Noida, expected to begin operations in the second half of FY2026–27. The move signals long-term growth and strategic expansion in India’s fast-evolving auto components space.
Oil Marketing Companies: BPCL, HPCL, IOC
OMC stocks saw strong momentum due to declining crude prices, which improved refining margins. HPCL jumped nearly 4 per cent, also benefiting from a “buy” upgrade by Goldman Sachs with a target price of Rs. 400. BPCL and IOC also posted solid gains. IOC’s progress in green hydrogen projects adds a long-term sustainability angle that investors are starting to price in. If crude remains soft, OMCs could continue outperforming in the near term.
Bajaj Finserv
Bajaj Finserv emerged among the top gainers on the Sensex, fueled by anticipation around its upcoming 4:1 bonus issue and stock split, with the record date set for June 16. The company also saw traction through its subsidiary, Bajaj Housing Finance, which accepted bids for multiple tenor bonds. Corporate actions like these often boost retail participation and could continue lifting the stock.
