  • Sensex nudges up as oil prices drop and rupee strengthens
    May 21, 2026, 3:46 AM EDT. Indian shares edged higher on Thursday, with the BSE Sensex up 0.20% and the Nifty 50 gaining 0.30%.

Despite early gains fading, investor sentiment improved amid easing inflation pressures and stabilizing currency. Key earnings influenced moves, with Apollo Hospitals posting a 36% profit increase and Lenskart Solutions reporting 46% revenue growth.
