The S&P BSE Sensex also saw significant gains, climbing 509.73 points to settle at 74,616.58. The market's recovery came after an initial dip, attributed to high volatility ahead of the weekly expiry of Nifty 50 contracts and geopolitical concerns in West Asia, particularly regarding U.S.-Iran relations.
