Indian Markets Post Market Report–Nov20, 2025

📰 Indian Markets Post Market Report – 20 November 2025 for Nifty 50, Sensex and Bank Nifty.

Indian equities extended their up-move on Thursday, with frontline indices holding above key milestones and traders still riding the momentum from foreign inflows and strong Q2 results. The broader mood stayed risk-on, supported by optimism around the India–US trade deal and steady domestic flows.

📊 Benchmark Snapshot – Nifty 50, Sensex & Bank Nifty

Nifty 50: 26,192.15, up 139.50 points (+0.54%)

Sensex: 85,632.68, up 446.21 points (+0.52%)

Bank Nifty: 59,347.70, up 131.65 points (+0.22%)

The Indian Markets Post Market Report for today reads like a continuation of the recent comeback story – indices are edging higher, but not in a reckless way. Banks cooled off a bit compared to the last few sessions, while large private names and heavyweights like Reliance helped Nifty defend the 26,000 zone.

🏆 Nifty 50 – Top 5 Gainers & 🔻 Top 5 Losers

Top 5 gainers (Nifty 50)

Eicher Motors – +3.31%

Bajaj Finance – +2.30%

Bajaj Finserv – +2.29%

Reliance Industries – +2.01%

Tech Mahindra – +1.82%

Gains were clearly led by auto & financials, with Eicher Motors rallying on the back of steady demand commentary and premium-segment strength, while Bajaj twins extended their rebound as investors looked beyond near-term margin worries. Reliance added weight to the index with buying interest coming back into energy & telecom exposure.

Top 5 losers (Nifty 50)

Asian Paints – –1.16%

HCL Tech – –1.03%

Titan – –0.78%

HUL – –0.54%

ONGC – –0.48%

On the downside, consumption names like Asian Paints, Titan and HUL saw mild profit-booking after a decent run, while HCL Tech cooled off following recent IT-led outperformance. ONGC also slipped a bit as crude moves and valuation concerns kept traders cautious.

🧩 Sector Performance – Who Led, Who Lagged

Sectorally, the picture stayed constructive but slightly rotational:

Sectors in green (NSE indices):

Auto & auto ancillaries – continued to ride on strong festive + Q2 demand commentary.

Capital goods & energy – buying interest remained in infra and power-linked names.

Private banks & select financials – held gains, though the day belonged more to stock-specific moves (Bajaj twins, Eicher) than the full banking basket.

Sectors under pressure:

Consumer durables & FMCG – light profit-booking in Asian Paints, Titan, HUL.

Media & PSU banks – some cooling after the sharp recent bounce.

Overall, breadth was still positive, with more sectors in the green than in deep red, which fits with the post-crash healing phase we’ve been tracking through your daily Indian Markets Post Market Report series.

📍 Key Levels – Support & Resistance

Short-term levels matter a lot for traders, especially when indices hover near all-time highs. Today’s zones are based on the latest technical views and intraday behaviour.

🔵 Nifty 50 – 26,192.15

Immediate support: around 26,000 Next support: 25,920–25,855

Near resistance: 26,250–26,300

As long as Nifty holds above the 26,000 area, bulls are likely to buy intraday dips. A decisive close above 26,250–26,300 can open the way towards the next leg higher, especially if global cues and FII flows stay supportive.

🏦 Bank Nifty – 59,347.70

From the recent technical road-map:

Support zones: 58,850, then 58,610, deeper cushion near 58,120

Resistance area: 59,250–59,400 (recent high zone)

Bank Nifty is still within a broad bullish channel. Unless we see a break below 58,850, the structure stays positive, but RSI remains elevated, so late entries need tight stop-losses.

🟢 Sensex – 85,632.68

TradeBrains had flagged these short-term levels off Wednesday’s close:

Support: 84,600 and then 84,100

Resistance: around 85,290–85,700

With Sensex comfortably above 85k, the focus now shifts to whether it can build a base here instead of giving back gains like earlier in the year.

😬 Volatility & Derivatives – India VIX, PCR, OI

India VIX: ~12.14, up about 1.4% vs previous close near 11.97

VIX is still sitting in the low-volatility zone, which normally signals a calm surface. But at these levels, any sudden headline on global rates or the India–US trade talks can quickly translate into sharper intraday swings – exactly why we keep repeating risk-management points in your Indian Markets Post Market Report.

From the latest options setup:

Heavy Put OI: around 26,000 (and 25,900) on Nifty – strong support base.

Call OI cluster: around 26,100 & 26,200 – acting as resistance caps.

PCR (Put/Call Ratio): ~1.29, indicating more puts written than calls, which is often read as cautious bullish positioning with some risk of consolidation.

💰 FII & DII Flow – Latest Official Numbers

The latest published cash-market data available while writing this report is for 19 November 2025 (exchanges typically publish with a short lag).

For 20 November 2025 (cash segment):

FIIs / FPIs: Net: +₹283.65crore (net buyers)

DIIs: Net: +₹824.46crore (also net buyers)

So both foreign and domestic institutions were net buyers ahead of today’s session, which ties in well with the break above 26,000 and the positive tone in largecaps. Provisional 20 November figures will update later tonight on NSE / BSE and Moneycontrol; you can plug that into tomorrow’s write-up.

🪙 Commodities & Currency (Gold, Silver, Crude, FX logos)

Latest available levels:

Gold (India, 24K): around ₹1,23,276 per 10g in the spot/retail market, after a mild bounce as global gold prices stabilise.

Silver: roughly ₹1,55,931 per kg in India, tracking the rebound mentioned in recent commodities commentary.

Brent Crude: about US$64.17 per barrel as of the latest close, with traders balancing supply headlines and global demand concerns.

USD–INR: the pair is hovering close to ₹88.70 per US dollar after closing near that level.

📦 IPO & Primary Market Highlights

The IPO calendar stayed active and is now moving into the listing & post-listing phase.

Fujiyama Power Systems IPO – listing today

Issue size: ~₹828 crore Price band: ₹216–₹228 per share Subscription: about 2.14× overall on final day Listing date: 20 November 2025 onNSE & BSE Listing performance: made a weak debut ~4% below IPO price, opening around ₹218–220 vs issue price of ₹228 before recovering intraday.

The message for readers: quality business in the rooftop solar & battery space, but pricing and sentiment can still cause choppy listing-day moves.

Emmvee Photovoltaic Power – recently listed

IPO price band: ₹206–₹217 Listing date: 18 November 2025 Saw moderate subscription (~97%) and listed roughly around the issue price; the stock has been volatile but continues to trade above IPO levels as of today, with profit-booking visible after the sharp post-listing spurt.

Together, these issues keep the primary market in focus and support interest in renewable and energy-transition themes in your audience.

🔎 Short-Term vs Long-Term View

For traders (next few sessions)

Nifty 50: Watch 26,000 on the downside and 26,250–26,300 on the upside. As long as support holds, intraday dips into strong names in auto, select financials and energy may keep getting bought.

Bank Nifty: Key floor around 58,850–58,600, resistance near 59,250–59,400. Overbought readings suggest chasing gaps is risky; better to wait for pullbacks into support zones.

For investors (multi-year lens)

The bigger story remains:

India’s growth outlook, steady SIP/DIIs flows, and healthy Q2 FY26 earnings across several largecaps.

In your post you can gently remind readers that, at these valuations, it makes more sense to:

Accumulate quality largecaps (banks, IT leaders, autos, infra, consumption, telecom) on corrections, Avoid chasing every high-beta breakout, Stick to asset allocation and proper risk management instead of trying to “time” every candle.

⭐ Stock of the Day (for study, not a call)

Stock of the Day (Nifty 50): Eicher Motors

Move today: about +3.3% on the Nifty, topping the gainers list. Trigger: Ongoing positive narrative around premium bikes and exports, Healthy margin expectations, Market liking the combination of earnings visibility + reasonable balance sheet.

On the chart, Eicher is a good “case study” for your readers: a strong structural up-trend, pullbacks finding support near previous breakout zones, and volume-backed moves on good days – perfect for a learning example in this Indian Markets Post Market Report, without making it a recommendation.
