The Indian equity markets closed the session in the green, with the benchmark Nifty 50 crossing and settling above the 25,700 mark, fueled by strong performance in financial and consumer goods companies. The positive sentiment extended across the broader market, with both the Nifty Midcap and Smallcap indices also finishing the day with gains.

The rally in the Nifty 50 was primarily driven by heavyweight buying in Shriram Finance and Tata Consumer Products, which emerged as the top individual stock contributors to the index's climb.

Nifty Midcap 150 gained significant ground, led by strong performances from Vodafone Idea and Schaeffler India. Nifty Smallcap 250 saw sharp gains, driven by Sterling & Wilson Renewable Energy and TV18 Broadcast.
