The Sensex on Tuesday (4 February) zoomed by 917 points to exceed the pre-budget figure of 40,749. The index finally closed at 40,789.38. The NIFTY rose by 2.32 per cent, to close at 11,979.
The biggest gainers of the day were Titan, Bharti Infratel, Indian Oil, Bajaj Finserv and BPCL. IRCTC too has been performing strongly and has closed at 1,431 - up by over 14 per cent.
It should be recalled that soon after the presentation of the Finance Budget 2020-21 the Sensex had slumped almost a 1,000 points to close at 39,735. This led many to discredit the budget and also led to borderline doomsday predictions among some social media ‘analysts’.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
