Indian equity markets maintained upward momentum for a second consecutive session on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. A notable decline in volatility and supportive global cues helped benchmarks scale new near-term highs. The Nifty 50 surged 200.40 points or 0.8% to close at 25,244.75, marking its highest level since October 2024, while the Sensex advanced 700.40 points or 0.85% to settle at 82,755.51.

The rally was broad-based, backed by institutional interest in heavyweights like Infosys, HDFC Bank, and select IT and media counters. The India VIX cooled off to below 13, reflecting the lowest volatility seen in three months, driven by relief surrounding the ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel.

All 11 major sectoral indices ended the session in the green:

Nifty Media led the rally, climbing 1.91%, spurred by a 15% surge in Network18. Nifty IT followed with a strong 1.59% gain, tracking strength in global tech. Other outperformers included Consumer Durables, Pharma, and PSU Banks, each benefiting from easing oil prices and lower bond yields.
