Indian benchmark indices ended the truncated week with big gains on Thursday on the back of positive global and domestic cues amid a muted Q4 earnings performance by India Inc. A pause in reciprocal tariffs and exemptions to select articles supported the sentiments. BSE Sensex zoomed 1,508.91 points, or 1.96 per cent to settle at 78,553.20, while NSE's Nifty50 surged 414.45 points, or 1.77 per cent to end at 23,851.65 for the day.
