On Thursday, April 9, 2026, Indian stock markets, including the Sensex and Nifty 50, are anticipated to open lower, reflecting mixed global cues and geopolitical uncertainties surrounding the US-Iran ceasefire. The Nifty is expected to hover around 23,973, down 84 points from its previous close. Following a strong rally on Wednesday, where the Sensex surged 2,946.32 points (3.95%) and the Nifty advanced 873.70 points (3.78%), investor sentiment is now tempered by concerns over the sustainability of the ceasefire. Key stocks in focus today include Tata Consultancy Services, Bosch, and NTPC. TCS, Anand Rathi Wealth, and GM Breweries will announce their Q4 results, while Bosch has approved the acquisition of a 100% stake in Bosch Chassis Systems India for ₹9,068.68 crore (approximately $1.1 billion USD). NHPC has received clearance for a ₹26,070 crore (roughly $3.1 billion USD) investment in the Kamala Hydroelectric Project. Additionally, NTPC has signed a non-binding MoU with Electricite de France to explore collaboration on new nuclear projects in India, pending government approvals.
