The NIFTY50 pack was led by Trent, which closed 5.44% higher after announcing its Q2 FY27 results on Thursday. According to the company’s press release, Trent reported a 25% YoY increase in consolidated net profit to ₹468 crore for the September quarter, as revenue growth and operating leverage supported earnings amid an inflationary environment.

It was followed by InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) (4.33%), Infosys (3.36%), Apollo Hospitals Enterprise (3.02%) and Power Grid Corporation of India (1.92%), which were among the other top gainers. Shares of IndiGo advanced as the company saw its net loss narrow and reported a surge in revenue. Analysts noted the company’s better‑than‑expected EBITDA, along with its focus on pricing over capacity as jet fuel prices increased. IndiGo guided its PRASK (passenger revenue per available seat kilometer) to grow over 25% in Q3 and FY27.
