Indian equity markets traded flat, with gains in Nifty 50, Nifty Auto, and Nifty Bank offsetting broader market weakness. The Sensex rose 113.61 points to 78,079.96, while the Nifty 50 closed unchanged at 24,435.95. Midcap and smallcap indices posted modest gains, but market breadth remained negative, with declining stocks outnumbering advancers on the BSE. Tata Steel emerged as the most actively traded Nifty stock, while HDFC Bank was the second most traded. Despite today's stability, both Sensex and Nifty have declined around 0.6% over the last three sessions.
