      The stock market on Tuesday (March 18, 2025) experienced a notable performance, with several key indices and sectors showing significant changes.

      On this day, the Nifty Auto index displayed a remarkable surge with a percentage change of 2.38%. This is the highest among the listed indices, highlighting a noticeable boost in the auto sector.

      Following closely, the Nifty Metal index also saw a substantial increase of 2.13%, marking it as another strong performer.

      The Energy Index showed an impressive rise of 1.60%, while the Nifty Bank Index was not far behind, with an increase of 1.99%.

      Both indices contributed to the positive market sentiment, drawing investor attention and showing confidence in the respective sectors.

      The BSE Sensex, another critical benchmark, rose by 1.53%, indicating a general upward trend in the market.

      On the other hand, the Nifty FMCG and Nifty IT indices experienced smaller yet noteworthy increases of 1.36% and 1.33%, respectively. These indices' movements suggest a broader recovery across various sectors, albeit at varying magnitudes.

      Meanwhile, the Nifty Infra index recorded a more modest growth of 1.20%, reflecting steady advancement within the infrastructure sector.
