The broader Nifty index crossed the 23,700 mark, reflecting strong market sentiment to start the new year. Among the top performers, Maruti Suzuki saw a substantial 3% surge, driven by strong sales data and positive market outlook.
On the other hand, Paytm faced a slight decline, slipping by 2%, as investor sentiment remained cautious about its growth prospects in the short term.
