With some media outlets already giving NDA a clear majority in the early trends, the sentiment across the investor community is upbeat on account of PM Modi’s reelection.
Bombay Stock Exchange’s flagship index Sensex was up by 600 points (9:38 AM) at 39,700 points, registering a gain of 1.5 per cent. Similarly, National Stock Exchange’s Nifty 50 is up by 172 points (9:38 AM) at 11,900 points.
If the trends translate into definite victories for the BJP, then it is highly plausible that Sensex will breach the 40,000 mark for the first time in its history today.
It should be noted that both Sensex and Nifty also registered substantial gains on Monday when the exit polls gave NDA a clear majority.

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.
