Indian stock markets experienced a 0.5% rise on Wednesday, influenced by the US Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates steady. As investors monitor the outcome of the West Bengal elections and geopolitical developments, several companies are in focus.

Furthermore, Vedanta has indicated potential cost pressures in aluminium production, estimating an increase of $50–100 per tonne due to ongoing geopolitical conflicts.
