Stock market today: Indian stock markets maintained their upward trend on Friday, beginning with a positive opening, buoyed by optimism surrounding the recently introduced GST 2.0 reforms. Investors are optimistic that the new tax rationalization initiatives will enhance overall consumption in the economy, fostering growth in the upcoming quarters.

The Nifty 50 index kicked off at 24,818.85, rising by 84.55 points or 0.34 percent, while the BSE Sensex climbed 294.41 points or 0.36 percent to start at 81,012.42.
