HIGHLIGHTSIndian equities ended the week on a strong note, staging a sharp rebound after two weeks of losses, buoyed by the Reserve Bank of India's surprise policy easing. The RBI cut the repo rate by an aggressive 50 basis points and reduced the cash reserve ratio, signalling a firm shift toward growth support. The policy pivot was well received by investors, especially in interest rate-sensitive sectors such as banking, real estate, and non-banking financial companies.
