New Delhi, Sept. 5 -- The Indian equity markets closed with marginal gains after a highly volatile session, which saw early enthusiasm from significant GST reforms giving way to late-session profit booking.

Nifty 50 advanced 19.25 points, or 0.08%, to settle at 24,734.30, while Sensex gained 150.30 points, or 0.19%, ending at 80,718.01. The rise was primarily driven by the government's decision to rationalize GST slabs, which triggered broad-based buying in consumption-linked sectors. Against this backdrop, India's top market experts recommend these stocks to buy on 5 September.
