In a move expected to ignite growth and investor confidence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced sweeping reforms in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime by Diwali. These changes aim to ease compliance issues and bring down everyday prices, potentially bolstering the Indian equity market.

The international stage is also a factor influencing domestic market sentiment, particularly after the U.S. and Russia summit between Presidents Trump and Putin showed 'great progress' despite the lack of a ceasefire deal. India positively viewed the meeting as potentially easing geopolitical tensions.

Adding to the market buoyancy, credit rating agency S&P upgraded India's sovereign credit rating to 'BBB' with a stable outlook, highlighting robust economic growth. As global market trends unfold, especially with upcoming U.S. economic data, analysts remain optimistic about future trading activities.
