On December 22, 2025, increases in telecom behemoth Bharti Airtel and IT powerhouse Infosys helped the Indian benchmark indexes Nifty and Sensex trade close to their intraday highs. In the midst of a wider market recovery, Groww shares increased by more than 5%, building on recent momentum from favorable brokerage coverage.
Key Gainers and Market Movers
Infosys and Bharti Airtel led the rally, with IT and telecom sectors posting strong gains following Friday's rebound.
Groww, India's leading retail brokerage platform, rose over 5% after Jefferies initiated 'Buy' coverage with a ₹180 target, highlighting its market dominance and growth potential.
Broader indices outperformed, with Nifty Midcap up 1.2% and Smallcap gaining 1.34% on December 19 close, setting a positive tone.
Sectoral and Global Context
Friday's 0.58% Nifty increase to 25,966 was driven by real estate, autos, healthcare, and chemicals, ending a four-day losing skid due to worse US inflation data. With assistance from FII inflows and the recovery of the rupee, analysts anticipate consolidation in the 25,700–26,200 area.
Trade Setup and Outlook
GIFT With an emphasis on the monthly expiry midweek, Nifty indicates a flat-to-positive opening. Important Nifty supports are at 25,700, while resistance is close to 26,200. Despite global caution, sentiment is generally positive.
