New Delhi, April 30 -- Indian stock markets experienced a largely subdued trading day on Tuesday, 29 April. Nevertheless, the Nifty 50 managed to stay above the 24,300 mark, and the Sensex rose marginally to settle at 80,288.38.

Among sectors, information technology stocks led the gains, supported by renewed global tech optimism. However, pressure from metal and pharma stocks, and geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, offset some of the wider market gains.
