Sensex and Nifty rebound on Adani rally and foreign fund inflows, with Adani group stocks leading gains.
Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty rebounded on Wednesday (November 27, 2024), driven by a sharp rally in Adani group stocks and fresh foreign fund inflows.
The BSE benchmark Sensex climbed 230.02 points, or 0.29%, to settle at 80,234.08. During the day, it surged 507.09 points, or 0.63%, to 80,511.15.

Shares of Adani Group firms, including Adani Power, Adani Total Gas, Adani Enterprises, Adani Energy Solutions, and Adani Green Energy, surged after an Adani Group entity said on Wednesday (November 27, 2024) that Gautam Adani and his aides have not been charged under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, adding that they faced three other charges, including securities and wire fraud that are punishable with monetary fines.
Some of the group firms hit their upper circuit limits.
