Market Breadth & Outlook
The strong advance-decline ratio of 25:6 underscores sustained buying interest in India’s infrastructure space, especially amid expectations of capex-led economic growth and pre-Budget policy buzz.
Analysts suggest that infrastructure-linked themes — cement, construction, and oil & gas — may continue to benefit from government spending and urban development priorities.
