Nepse gains 57 points, adds Rs 100 billion in market value

Benchmark index closes at 2,734.60 points as key sectors rally, while turnover slips marginally after a debenture-driven rise last week.

The Nepal Stock Exchange (Nepse) extended its gains this week, with manufacturing, trading, and hydropower stocks driving the benchmark index higher. Turnover slightly dipped after last week's higher activity, which was fuelled by regulatory-driven debenture sales.
