Shares of Tata Power, L&T Finance, Nestle India and Dr Reddy's will be in focus on Thursday.

Gensol Engineering Ltd. emerged as a successful bidder for a battery storage project from Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. for Rs 1,340 crore. The project will deliver 250 megawatt energy for two charge/discharge cycles per day.

Bondada Engineering Ltd. received an order worth Rs 939 crore from NLC India Ltd. on Wednesday to set up a solar power plant at Khavda in Gujarat.

Markets in Asia-Pacific rose on Thursday after the US Federal Reserve kept its benchmark federal rates unchanged for seventh time, and as inflation data came softer than anticipated.

The Nikkei 225 was 47.60 points or 0.12% higher at 38,924.31, and the S&P ASX 200 was 37.70 points or 0.49% higher at 7,753.20 as of 06:42 a.m.

The US Consumer Price Index fell to 3.3% on year in May, against 3.4% analysts projected in a Bloomberg survey. Core CPI, which keeps aside volatile food and energy prices, eased to 3.4% compared to 3.5% analysts forecasted.

The US stocks reached new all-time peaks as a widespread easing of inflation led to a sharp drop in bond yields, prompting traders to wager that the Federal Reserve may cut rates for two times despite dot plots indicating one.

The current federal fund rate range stands at 5.25-5.50%.

The S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq 100 rose 0.85% and 1.53%, respectively, as of Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average decline 0.09%.

Brent crude was trading 0.19% lower at $82.44 a barrel. Gold decline 0.39% to $2,315.80 an ounce.

The GIFT Nifty was 19.5 points or 0.08% higher at 23,464.50 as of 06:46 a.m.

Indian benchmark equity indices came out of their two-day decline and closed higher on Wednesday, led by shares of heavyweights. Nifty closed at its highest-ever level. The NSE Nifty 50 closed 58.10 points up, or 0.25%, at 23,322.95, while the S&P BSE Sensex ended 149.98 points, or 0.2%, higher at 76,606.57.

Overseas investors in Indian equities turned net buyers after a day. Foreign portfolio investors bought shares worth Rs 427 crore, while domestic institutional investors stayed net buyers for the third day and mopped up equities worth Rs 234 crore, according to provisional data from the National Stock Exchange.

The Indian currency closed 2 paise higher against the US dollar at Rs 83.55.
