Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty opened lower on Friday but quickly regained lost ground, buoyed by fresh foreign institutional investor (FII) inflows that uplifted market sentiment, as per PTI.

The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) benchmark Sensex initially declined by 252.8 points to 76,095.26 in early trade, while the broader National Stock Exchange (NSE) Nifty slipped 57.85 points to 23,132.80. However, both indices staged a swift recovery, reversing early losses to trade in positive territory.
