Sectoral action was mixed: Titan Co. surged 4% to a fresh 52-week high on strong Q3 performance, while Tech Mahindra, HCL Technologies, Wipro, and Jio Financial also supported the index. On the downside, Cipla, Maruti Suzuki, Max Healthcare, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, and Power Grid dragged. In stock-specific moves, Senco Gold rallied 12% after a 51% jump in Q3 revenue, Bliss GVS Pharma gained 3% on block deals, while Indian Hotels slipped 1% post Morgan Stanley downgrade. Meanwhile, Meesho dropped 5% as its one-month lock-in expired, reflecting profit booking pressure. This cautious sentiment underscores investor unease, though selective midcap and consumption plays continue to attract buying interest.
