Nifty 50, Sensex today: What to expect from Indian stock market in trade on June 25 after Israel-Iran ceasefire
The trends on Gift Nifty also indicate a positive start for the Indian benchmark index. The Gift Nifty was trading around 25,175 level, a premium of nearly 103 points from the Nifty futures' previous close.
On Tuesday, the domestic equity market ended higher, with the benchmark Nifty 50 closing above the 25,000 levels.
The Sensex rose 158.32 points, or 0.19%, to close at 82,055.11, while the Nifty 50 settled 72.45 points, or 0.29%, higher at 25,044.35.
Here's what to expect from Nifty 50 and Bank Nifty today:
In the derivatives segment, the highest Call OI (Open Interest) is seen at the 25,200 strike, and the highest Put OI at 25,000, indicating a short-term trading range between 25,000 – 25,200 for the Nifty 50, said Mandar Bhojane, Research Analyst at Choice Broking.
Nifty 50 failed to sustain the intraday highs as it erased most of its intraday gains and closed the day off the highs.
'A reasonable negative candle was formed on the daily chart with a long upper shadow. Technically, this market action indicates false upside breakout attempt of broader high low range of the last one month around 25,200 levels. This could signal there is a possibility of some more consolidation in the short term before surging higher again,' said Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities.
According to him, the short-term trend of Nifty 50 remains positive amidst range movement. Further sustainable move above 25,200 - 25,300 levels could open further upside towards 25,600 for the near term. Immediate support is placed at 24,900 levels.
Om Mehra, Technical Research Analyst, SAMCO Securities, highlighted that the Nifty 50 floats above the 9-day and 20-day moving averages, which may act as a cushion during minor dips. The RSI has moved back above the 55 mark, after some exhaustion. However, it is yet to break above 60 for a clearer directional confirmation.
'The MACD histogram remains flat, but is slowly flattening, indicating a potential shift in tone. The upper Bollinger band near 25,300 continues to pose strong resistance, and a close above this level would likely open the door for a fresh directional leg. Until then, Nifty 50 may remain range-bound with support around 24,800. The India VIX cooled off by 2.92% to 13.64, indicating a drop in market nervousness and supporting the current consolidation,' said Mehra.
Dr. Praveen Dwarakanath, Vice President of Hedged.in, noted that the Nifty 50 gave a breakout above its resistance of the 25,200 level, but could not sustain the high, indicating weakness in the index near its resistance.
'Nifty 50 index is now at a level where one can sell with a target near its support at 24,500 level. The momentum indicators on the daily chart have sharply risen to the overbought region and showing reversal signs. In the rally today, present weekly expiry calls saw heavy writing, indicating a closing below 25,100 levels for present week expiry,' said Dwarakanath.
The immediate support for the index is at the 24,500 level, a drop to this level can be an opportunity to go long with a target of 25,200 or higher, he added.
VLA Ambala, Co-Founder of Stock Market Today said that the Nifty 50 formed a High Wave Doji candlestick pattern, indicating high volatility and indecision.
'I recommend maintaining a neutral strategy. We can expect Nifty 50 to find support between 24,850 and 24,900 and meet resistance between 25,300 and 25,380 in the coming intraday trading session,' Ambala said.
Bank Nifty index ended 402.55 points, or 0.72%, higher at 56,461.90 on Tuesday, forming a high wave candle with a higher high and higher low signaling positive bias.
'Bank Nifty retraced more than 80% of its recent breather (57,049 - 55,149). Going forward, the Bank Nifty index is expected to maintain positive bias and head towards the all-time high placed around 57,050 and 57,600 levels in the coming weeks. Immediate bias remains positive above 55,400 levels being the confluence of recent consolidation area and last week low. The daily stochastic remains in uptrend, thus validating positive bias,' Bajaj Broking Research said in a note.
According to the brokerage firm, key support is placed at 54,500 - 54,000 levels, being the confluence of 50 days EMA and key retracement level of the previous up move.
Om Mehra said that while the Bank Nifty index showed continued strength, it encountered resistance near the 56,800 zone, aligning with the upper Bollinger Band, and has faced mild selling pressure during the latter half of the session.
'The 20-day median, currently around 56,000, continues to act as a pivot, around which the index has been coiling. The RSI has ticked up to 59 but remains lodged below the decisive 65 mark, where momentum typically gains strength. On the hourly chart, the structure reflects a higher-high formation. Until a clean breakout occurs above 56,850, the trend may remain choppy and sideways. The support is placed near 55,700,' Mehra said.

Eternal and Swiffy will quadruple the size of the business over next 3 years, while keeping losses in check: Kunal Vora
Kunal Vora , Head of India Equity Research, BNP Paribas , says India's largely unorganized trillion-dollar retail sector, dominated by mom-and-pop stores, is witnessing a quick commerce boom. Driven by dark stores, companies like Eternal are achieving EBITDA breakeven. A land grab is underway, with major players investing heavily to gain first-mover advantage. Focus remains on strong growth while controlling EBITDA losses. In FY27, BNP Paribas expects Eternal quick commerce to get to breakeven at EBITDA level. In the case of Swiggy, it will take longer, about FY29 or FY30. Your report calls quick commerce a decadal opportunity. Help us understand what are the key factors that could determine who will win in this space over the next 5 to 10 years? Any important metrics other than the regular ones that you are tracking at the moment? Kunal Vora: The Indian retail industry is a trillion dollar industry in terms of size, but it is still largely unorganised. If I look at a category like grocery, more than 80% is still largely driven by 10 million mom-and-pop outlets. We have seen a modern trade making some inroads, but it has still been restricted to top cities and then we saw overall growth starting to stabilise in modern trade while e-commerce did not really make any meaningful dent when it came to the grocery segment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo What we saw with quick commerce is a very strong growth over the last couple of years driven by the dark stores which provide convenience; pricing also has been reasonable and consumers use them more frequently. Also, they were able to crack unit economics with Eternal getting to EBITDA breakeven in 1H of FY25. What we have seen subsequently is a land grab phase in which everyone started investing more aggressively. We have seen that happening in three quick commerce companies. But other retail and e-commerce companies are also looking at this opportunity very closely. They are also starting to invest. It is really about chasing and getting the first mover advantage and we believe that the near-term metric to judge them by will be ensuring that they maintain a very strong growth, while at the same time keeping the EBITDA losses in check. I would not judge them by immediate profitability even if over the next couple of years, they get scale. What we are expecting is just between the two companies which we cover – Eternal and Swiggy – where the net order value will increase from about $4 billion in FY25 to $16 billion by FY28. That is quadrupling the size of the business over the next three years, while keeping the losses in check. We expect that the model in the case of food delivery is initially getting the scale and then focus on profitability will be replicated. Having said that, this is going to be a more competitive industry. The size of the industry is much larger compared to what the food delivery industry is and it is going to remain competitive. Right now, it is more a question of just getting the size and we expect margins to follow. Live Events You Might Also Like: Quick commerce apps stack up extra fees to curb losses How do you see unit economics evolving across food delivery and quick commerce as the market matures? Kunal Vora: In the case of food delivery, we have already seen that happening. In food delivery, if I look at over the last three years, this industry was making about $20 billion in EBITDA losses. In FY25, we have seen about $20 billion EBITDA positive numbers. In case of quick commerce, we believe that going forward, FY26 will remain a year in which there will be peak losses, but beyond that in FY27, we expect Eternal to get to breakeven level at EBITDA level. In the case of Swiggy, we expect it to take longer about FY29 or FY30. In terms of margins, we expect the food delivery margins getting closer to 5% now and on average order value, while in case of quick commerce we expect to take longer, but about 5% is possible in the medium term. The report states that the food delivery is more resilient than the QSRs. Now, is this primarily due to the capex like models or are there consumer behaviour shifts that are driving this advantage? Kunal Vora: In our report, we have done an extensive comparison and benchmarking between food delivery and quick service restaurants – both spaces which we look at very closely now. What we see is that the Indian quick service restaurant industry has seen an increase in EBITDA but they have not been able to generate free cash flow because whatever increase in EBITDA they have seen, largely that is getting reinvested in capex. The big difference between the two is that in the case of food delivery, there is almost no capex, there is no working capital. So, whatever EBITDA they are able to generate is getting reinvested in another very large high growth opportunity which is quick commerce. So, that is a space which we prefer between the two. Even in terms of growth trends, over the last six years – FY19 to FY25 –, QSR industry has seen about 13% revenue CAGR, but that has been driven by 14% store CAGR and that is fairly capex intensive.

So, while we have not seen a meaningful increase in EITDA, the capex intensity has been fairly elevated in QSR industry and that is the reason we believe food delivery is a better place to be in. In terms of the audience that quick commerce caters to, help us understand how you expect quick commerce to evolve into a true mass market channel? Or will it remain an urban value proposition in the near future? Kunal Vora: In our projections, we see the quick commerce industry catering more to the affluent consumers by FY28. But once they achieve scale, they will be in a position to go mass market as well. For now, our expectation is about 40-45 million households will be spending about Rs 5,000 monthly on quick commerce that can be across various different categories. It can be home and personal care. It can be consumer electronics. There are various products which they can start adding. And beyond that, once they achieve scale, which is about $16 billion just between the two quick commerce companies, they will have many margin levers which can help them bring the cost down. The margin levers we are talking about would include better pricing power when it comes to negotiating with the brands. We expect the advisement revenue to come in because the kind of details which these companies will have over the household consumption patterns will be very valuable for the companies and also, we expect the average order per dark store will keep on increasing over the next few years. Some of these will help them achieve a better level of profitability and some of that can get passed on to the consumer. As the pricing becomes more competitive, they can start going beyond the affluent 40 million households and into the mass households.

Kunal Vora: This is still going to be an evolving space and we do not expect a quick result in terms of market consolidation the way we have seen that in food delivery happening in case of quick commerce soon. The way we are looking at this industry is that everybody will look at their own sweet spots and their own target markets. Larger e-commerce players will continue to focus on a much larger assortment. For quick commerce, what really works is fast moving items which the consumer needs, but it will not be able to cater to industries in which there is a wide assortment, like fashion is not something which they are like well positioned or footwear is not something which they are well positioned to do. So, they will be doing the fast moving items. E-commerce will have a much broader offering and they will not be delivering within 30 minutes. They will have a larger assortment while delivery times could be longer. In the case of physical retailers, it is going to be about the consumer footfalls and they will look more at scheduled deliveries. While they will look to bring the delivery times lower, at the same time they would not go into the dark store model wherein they are close to the consumers in every location. With the heavy focus on the dark store expansion, how should players balance the speed of scaling with profitability discipline? Kunal Vora: After Blinkit achieved EBITDA breakeven, there has been a big burst of dark store expansion. The number of dark stores have doubled in FY25 across most players. I expect FY26 to be a year in which there will be some consolidation while the heavy growth will still continue, and at the same time, we will not see doubling of store count and the focus will be on driving efficiencies to bring the EITDA losses to lower levels compared to what we see. FY26 could be the peak year. After that we expect the dark store additions to get normalised while the focus will be on driving consumers per dark store per day. What kind of impact could Rapido's entry have into the food delivery space? How sustainable could Rapido's model be in terms of their pricing? Kunal Vora : I would not comment on Rapido and what they can do. But if I look at the economics of this business, it makes it very difficult to breakeven at Rs 25 or Rs 50 because average rider will want about Rs 20,000-25,000 per month which is about Rs 1,000 per day and if he is working for 10 hours, you need at least Rs100 per hour, Rs 50 per delivery. So, if someone is looking at like Rs 25, Rs 50 pricing, that makes it very difficult to work out and it will require a lot of cash burn. Today Zomato and Swiggy between them carry about 1.5 billion orders annually and at that scale, we see variable cost per delivery for these players at about Rs 60 purely for delivery and about Rs 80 in total. So, to beat them in terms of unit economics is going to be a challenge. Till FY22-23, Swiggy itself with its large scale was still reporting about 15 billion of annual losses. So, it seems challenging for any new entrant to make any meaningful inroad. We continue to see this as a duopoly which will keep generating healthy cash flows.

More than 50% of India's future startups will rise outside metros: Report
A report by the Bengaluru chapter of The Indus Entrepreneurs has projected that more than 50% of Indian startups by 2035 will emerge from Tier 2/3 districts. Titled 'India as a Startup Superpower by 2035,A Strategic Roadmap', the report was released at the 10th edition of the Matrix Global Summit by TiE Bangalore. It was prepared with inputs from more than 60 ecosystem leaders, including founders, investors, policy experts, and academic institutions. The report calls for a nationwide shift from 'Startup India' to 'Entrepreneurial Bharat', where entrepreneurship is no longer a metro-driven phenomenon, but a grassroots movement embedded in school curricula, regional economic clusters, and national priorities. It outlines actionable strategies to democratise access to capital, embed entrepreneurial education across academic institutions, and streamline regulatory policies to support high-impact founders across every Indian district. The document also positions entrepreneurship as a core life skill, proposing its inclusion across 75% of secondary schools and 80% of higher education institutions by 2035. Covering themes across policy, capital, academia, talent, and deep tech, it explores how India can create an innovation economy that contributes 15% to GDP, creates 50 million new jobs, and generates 100+ IPOs on global exchanges by 2035. 'This is not just a report, it's a strategic invitation to reimagine India's innovation trajectory,' said Madan Padaki, President, TiE Bangalore and Trustee, TiE Global. Mission mode programmes Infosys cofounder Kris Gopalakrishnan, who spoke at the event, noted that an entrepreneurial mindset should come into the research ecosystem. 'The research ecosystem is still in the olden days. It needs to start thinking big. We can do it,' he said noting that ISRO and DRDO are proofs of that. Mr. Gopalakrishnan also suggested every institute in the country must come up with three or four 'mission mode programmes' every year. 'These are large multi-year, multi-disciplinary mission mode programmes, like creating the human brain atlas, cure for cancer, cure for Alzheimer's, understanding dementia, creating an autonomous vehicle... In IIT Madras they want to do hyper loop. Every institute must do that. They are doing hundreds of thousands of small incremental projects, like publishing papers. Let that go on. But they must come up with a mission mode programme because the spin out from that will be really large. We need to look at global leadership and creating large businesses with export potential,' he said.
