HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank led the gains, with HDFC Bank's valuation rising by ₹91,282.67 crore, reaching a total of ₹12,47,478.57 crore. ICICI Bank's market cap surged by ₹76,036.36 crore to ₹9,46,741.85 crore. The positive market trend was bolstered by a 4,230.7-point increase in the BSE Sensex and a 1,337.5-point rise in the NSE Nifty, attributed to optimism surrounding a temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran. However, geopolitical uncertainties continued to loom, capping the pace of gains.
