Sensex Today: Monday morning saw a solid start for the equity benchmark indexes Sensex and Nifty, but overall sentiment was restrained because of growing concerns over a potential US debt default.

With a net profit of Rs 5,408 crore in Q4FY23 compared to a net loss of Rs 1,033 crore the previous year, Tata Motors saw a gain of more than 3.5%.
