Sensex Edges Higher on Tech Strength

India’s BSE Sensex opened about 0.1% higher at 75,912 on Friday, recovering some losses from the previous two sessions, supported by gains in technology stocks, although upside momentum remained limited as investors assessed improving prospects for peace in the Middle East and the implications for global oil prices.

Among technology stocks, Wipro shares surged about 4% after its US-listed shares jumped 18.5% on Thursday following a partnership with ServiceNow to deploy agentic AI workflows.

Other major gainers included TCS (+1.9%), Infosys (+4%), HCL (+1.9%), LTM (+3%), and Sterlite Technologies (+5%).

Meanwhile, Adani Total Gas advanced 3.3%, supported by a series of domestic compressed natural gas (CNG) price hikes and the company’s strong March-quarter earnings results.

On the other hand, Bharti Airtel (-1.4%), MCX (-3.6%), Bharat (-7.3%), and Delta Corp (-12.4%) traded lower.

The index is on track for a weekly gain of 0.6% so far.
