What's behind this

During the special Diwali Muhurat trading session on November 8, benchmark Indian equity indices showed mixed outcomes. One report said the Sensex fell 28.62 points (0.04 %) to 80,999.40 and the Nifty also slipped, with banking and IT stocks weighing on sentiment. Another source noted the indices closed flat, with the Sensex just below 81,000 and the Nifty under 25,000. Yet other reports described the Sensex gaining 250–402 points and the Nifty rising 79 points, driven by buying in Sun Pharma, Tata Steel and ICICI Bank. The session marked the start of Samvat 2083.
