On Monday, Indian equity indices ended higher, still dominated by bulls for the second straight session. Index heavyweights Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, and M&M stocks performed well amid a positive trend in global markets. Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services, said investors are confident about India's growth prospects, helped by strong domestic PMI figures, sequential auto sales growth, and bank credit expansion. The broader markets underperformed. Meanwhile, Western stock markets struggled to hold on to gains.
