The BSE Sensex jumped 1,383.93 points or 2.05 per cent to settle at a lifetime high of 68,865.12. The index touched an intra-day record high of 68,918.22. The total market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies increased by Rs 5.81 lakh crore to Rs 343.48 lakh crore.

The NSE Nifty also surged 418.90 points, or 2.07 per cent, to hit its all-time closing high of 20,686.80.

“The outcome overwhelmingly in favour of the incumbent BJP, strong macroeconomic data and easing global interest rate expectations boosted the market momentum. Nifty has rallied by 1865 points or 10% from its low of 18837 made in October 23. We expect market sentiment to strengthen further as the ongoing pre-election rally is quite strong now. Given the government’s focus approach towards long-term capex across key areas, we expect BFSI, Industrials, Real Estate, Auto and Consumer Discretionary to do well going forward,” said Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Retail Research, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
