According to Parth Nyati, Founder, of Tradingo, “Over 70 per cent of contribution to the gain of Nifty50 because of HDFC twins also led to short covering in the market, and foreign investors are showing buying interest that is leading to outperformance in the Indian equity market.” 

Stocks such as Mahindra and Mahindra, Wockhardt, Interglobe Aviation (Indigo), IndusInd Bank, Federal Bank, and Wipro were other stocks that will be in focus on Tuesday.
