Discussing the outlook for the Indian stock market, Sumeet Bagadia said, “The Nifty 50 index has broken out of its consolidation phase and is set to reach 24,900 in the near term. Positive sentiments are expected to continue after strong Q1FY25 results from IT majors TCS and HCL Technologies, as well as IREDA.”
