The BSE Sensex closed on October 6, 2026 at 73,067.81 points, up 685.34 points, or 0.95 percent, from the previous close. India Today said the index opened at 72,508.05 points and finished at the day's high as banking and financial stocks led the recovery.
Bank stocks and Trent lead the advance
Kotak Mahindra Bank gained 3.59 percent and Axis Bank rose 2.01 percent after the lenders reported growth in advances and deposits. Reliance Industries added 2.77 percent, according to Moneycontrol.
Trent was the strongest large-cap performer, climbing 12.78 percent after the Tata Group retailer projected a 23 percent year-over-year increase in standalone September-quarter revenue. Upstox reported that the Sensex and the broader market benchmark both closed at their intraday highs.
RBI decision next
Investors now turn to the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy decision on October 7. Market participants widely expect a 25-basis-point rate increase, while the policy statement's guidance on inflation and growth is expected to shape the next move, Reuters reported.
The next major corporate event is Tata Consultancy Services' September-quarter earnings, scheduled for October 8. The RBI decision and the TCS results are the next near-term triggers identified by market analyst Bathini in India Today.
