Indian benchmark indices closed higher on Friday, driven by auto stocks, after last week's 5% drop. The Nifty 50 rose 0.27% to 23,813, and the BSE Sensex gained 0.29% to 78,699. Analysts suggest Nifty may consolidate between 23,500 and 23,900, with key resistance at 23,860 and support at 23,500, potentially targeting 24,000–24,100 if it breaks higher.
