NIFTY50 top gainers and losers

Grasim Industries led the NIFTY50 pack, surging 3.22%. It was followed by buying in SBI Life Insurance Company (3.16%), Bharti Airtel (2.65%), State Bank of India (2.48%), and Reliance Industries (2.18%), which were among the top gainers.

Bharti Airtel’s shares rose after the Supreme Court permitted the Central government to consider the telco’s plea for quashing DoT's additional adjusted gross revenue demands for the period up to 2016-17. "No reason why Centre should be prevented from reconsidering the issue," said the top court.

Reliance Industries’ stock was among the top gainers after Reliance Intelligence Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of RIL, incorporated Reliance Enterprise Intelligence Ltd (REIL). Reliance will hold 70% in REIL, while Meta Platforms Inc's Facebook Overseas will hold a 30% interest in the AI venture. The two companies have committed an initial investment of  ₹855 crore in the AI venture.

During the day, Vodafone Idea’s shares surged as much as 9.87% to hit a 52-week high of ₹10.57 apiece amid news reports that the Centre said it was willing to reconsider the telco's request in the AGR case and the Supreme Court allowed the Union to take a decision, as it is in the policy domain.
