Twenty companies listed in the Nifty 500 index reached all-time highs during Wednesday's trading session, signalling robust market momentum across diverse business segments. The rally encompassed stocks from varied sectors including infrastructure, hospitality, consumer goods and specialty chemicals. Among the frontrunners were Eternal, Groww, Adani Ports, and Ather Energy, which posted significant gains to reach new peaks. Engineers India, Indian Hotels Company, Marico, Navin Fluorine International, Asahi India Glass and Phoenix Mills were also among the gainers hitting record levels.
