$BEL

$BEL Nifty closed Wednesday above the key 24,000 mark at 24,085.70, up 0.40%, while Sensex added 347 points to settle at 77,155.62 — the fourth straight day of gains, with PSU banks, IT, metals and defence stocks driving the rally ahead of the US Fed's policy decision under new Chair Kevin Warsh. Bharat Electronics (BEL) was among the top Nifty gainers on Wednesday, riding strength in the defence and PSU pack alongside Trent, Hindalco and Eternal. The stock's recent momentum builds on its long-running re-rating story over the past few years, as India's defence indigenisation push has steadily lifted order books across the sector. With crude prices easing toward pre-conflict levels and India VIX near three-month lows at 13.18, sentiment remains constructive heading into today's session. A sustained move above recent highs could keep BEL and other defence names in focus.
