Indian equity benchmarks finished higher on Friday, 16 October. The Sensex closed at 74,729.27, up 413.66 points or 0.56%, while the Nifty 50 gained 148.80 points or 0.65% to finish at 23,146.15, Moneycontrol reported after trading ended.
Information technology and media shares were among the stronger areas of the market. The closing figures describe the completed session rather than an intraday peak or a prediction of the next trading day.
This is the latest ordinary weekday close available for the weekend edition. It follows the separately dated 15 October report and does not present Saturday or Sunday as fresh Indian cash-market trading sessions.
