Stock market today, Sept. 4 -- The rally made a comeback in the Indian stock markets on Thursday as the government's decision to streamline Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates enhanced investor confidence.

This positive trend has increased expectations for a robust rally as Diwali approaches, with major indices starting off significantly higher.

The Nifty 50 index commenced at 24,980.75, gaining 265.70 points or 1.08 percent, signifying a strong rise in this benchmark. The Sensex also surged by 882 points to open at 81,450.55, reflecting a gain of over 1 percent.

Analysts suggested that the current circumstances are conducive to a bull market, and any further cuts in tariffs could enable the markets to reach new all-time highs soon.
