Nifty Pharma index rose over 1% after the Trump administration clarified that it would not impose any tariffs on generic medicines. In a regulation change, SEBI raised the minimum block deal size from Rs10cr to Rs25cr and widened the price bands to boost transparency and liquidity in large stock trades.
