Food delivery platform Swiggy reported a significant widening of its quarterly loss, which rose to ₹1,081 crore in Q4 FY25—almost double the ₹554 crore loss recorded during the same period last year.

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories

Stock Market Outlook for Today:

• Markets open strong today, with Gift Nifty up 2.56% and Nifty opening 1.72% higher at 24,420.10; both Nifty and Sensex are trading at their 2025 year-to-date highs.
• Despite mixed global cues—Nasdaq flat, Dow slightly lower, and Asian markets showing mild gains—domestic sentiment may stay cautious due to weak FII flows (₹3,798.7 crore net sell).
• Bank Nifty’s low PCR (0.7883) potentially suggests bearish undertones in financials, even as DIIs continue strong buying support with a ₹7,277.7 crore net inflow.
