On Tuesday, Indian share markets continued their upward momentum and extended gains as the session progressed.

Indian indices tracked the overnight Wall Street surge and had a strong day to end with decent gains.

Aiding sentiment was India's retail inflation, which eased sharply to an 11-month low of 5.8% on an annual basis in November amid cooling global commodity prices and higher borrowing costs.

At the closing bell on Tuesday, the BSE Sensex stood higher by 403 points (up 0.6%).

Meanwhile, the NSE Nifty closed higher by 111 points (up 0.6%).

IndusInd Bank, Bajaj Finance, and Infosys were among the top gainers.

Apollo Hospital, Hindalco, and BPCL, on the other hand, were among the top losers.

The BSE Midcap inched higher 0.3% while the BSE SmallCap index rose 0.4%.

With this, the standalone installed and commercial capacity of NTPC has become 58,041.27 MW (megawatts), while the group installed, and commercial capacity has become 70,656.27 MW.

Tata Motors to hike commercial vehicle prices

Tata Motors on Tuesday announced that the company will raise prices of commercial vehicles across variants by up to 2% from January 2023.

While this price increase will vary as per individual model and variant, it will be applicable across the entire range of commercial vehicles.

With the steep rise in overall input costs, the company is compelled to pass on some proportion through this minimal price hike.

Raw material cost as a percentage of sales was 65% in the quarter.

Tata Motors is the country's leading player in the commercial vehicle segment.

However, in the EV market, the company is leading the EV revolution with more than 80% market share in passenger EV sales.

The company witnessed exponential sales growth in 2022 as it sold close to 20,000 units, driving the e-mobility practically independently. This has made tata motors among the top 5 EV manufacturer to add to your watchlist.

Rupee plunges 26 paise

The Indian rupee plunged on Tuesday, extending losses for the second day in a row stalled in the previous session as demand for dollars from importers remained firm ahead of key US inflation data later in the day.

The rupee was last changing hands at 82.79 per dollar, compared to its previous close of 82.53 on Monday down by 26 paise.

The domestic currency dropped 36 paise to close provisionally at RS82.87 against the US dollar.

This downfall was on the back of the rise in crude prices in the international market, as the country depends on imports for over 85% of its oil needs supply concerns.

Domestic retail inflation fell to an 11-month low for the first time since December 2021.

Also, the industrial output unexpectedly contracted by 4% in October, its weakest performance in 26 months.

That put additional pressure on the local currency, in addition to solid demand for the greenback from Indian importers.
