Despite the RBI maintaining the policy status quo, an upgraded GDP growth forecast for FY24 (6.5 per cent to 7 per cent) elevated investor confidence, he said.

The IT, consumer, auto, and realty sectors performed well due to valuation comfort, festive momentum, and a substantial increase in residential sales," he added. (ANI)
