However, both indices gave up a significant portion of their intraday gains by the close.

The market opened on a positive note and gathered momentum in early trade, supported by strong buying in financial and pharmaceutical stocks. However, the rally lost steam as the session progressed, with investors booking profits, causing the benchmark indices to surrender most of their gains before ending with modest advances.

The Nifty 50 retreated 172 points from the day's high to settle at 23,962, up 0.34% from the previous close. Meanwhile, the Sensex erased 560 points from its intraday high to close 0.31% higher at 77,520.

The broader market, however, outperformed the benchmarks, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices rallying 1.8% each.

Crude oil prices eased modestly after a sharp two-day rally, despite the U.S. military confirming that it had carried out strikes on Iran for a second consecutive day, heightening geopolitical tensions and raising concerns over energy supplies from the Middle East.

The latest strikes came after U.S. President Donald Trump declared the temporary ceasefire with Iran "over," while Iran reportedly launched missile attacks targeting U.S. military facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar.
