Broader markets lagged, with the Nifty Midcap 100 index falling nearly 0.78% or 419.80 points, ending at 53,705.10.

Oil & Gas led sectoral gains, boosted by Reliance’s 10% weekly jump — its best in five years. Other top performers included Maruti Suzuki, Bharat Electronics, SBI Life, IndusInd Bank, and HDFC Life.

Top losers included Shriram Finance, JSW Steel (down 6% after a court ruling), UltraTech Cement, and Bajaj Finserv. Indus Towers dropped 7% after delaying its bonus and buyback decisions.
