Earnings season got rolling with three index stocks having announced their results, and general sentiments showed an inclination towards holding on to the recent gains, especially with IIP and CPI figures lending support. However, TCS and Infy’s volatility following their Q3 releases kept a check on gains amid signs that the “Trump trades” are wearing off.”
Anand James, Chief Market Strategist, Geojit BNP Paribas Financial Services wrote in a note. 

The budget carrier placed an order for 205 Boeing planes worth a whopping $22 billion. The deal will be the biggest expansion plan by the Indian carrier that is seeking to claw back market share from leader IndiGo.

Shares of the low cost airline gained 3.2 percent to Rs 65.9. It has gained 17.3 percent in the last 12 days.

Shares of the franchisee operator for fast-food chain McDonald in southern and western India rose as much as 10.6 percent to Rs 186.
