On December 18, 2025, the Indian stock market started the day with mixed results. While the benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, started the session with a cautious tone due to global economic pressures, the Information Technology (IT) sector emerged as a beacon of strength. Leading this charge were industry heavyweights Infosys and Wipro, which topped the Nifty gainer charts, proving once again that technology remains a preferred defensive play for investors during times of sharp market swings.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the morning progressed, the Nifty IT Index maintained its upward trajectory; by 10:20 AM, the index was trading at 38,423.90, marking an increase of 251.55 points (0.32%).
