Indian equity benchmarks staged a late recovery on Friday, with the Sensex rising 266 points and the Nifty closing near the 25,700 mark, as investors responded positively to the Reserve Bank of India\u2019s (RBI) policy decision and selective buying in FMCG and banking heavyweights.<\/p>\n

After a volatile session marked by early losses, the BSE Sensex closed up 0.32% at 83,580.40, while the NSE Nifty 50 settled at 25,693.70, up 0.20%. The Bank Nifty also ended marginally higher at 60,120.55.<\/p>\n

The rebound helped the benchmarks log their best weekly performance in about three months, with both the Sensex and Nifty gaining roughly 1.5% for the week, aided by improving global trade sentiment following a U.S. trade deal and domestic policy stability.<\/p>\n
