Breadth and sectors
The buying was not confined to a few heavyweights. Across the Nifty 500, 357 stocks closed higher and 135 closed lower, and 23 stocks hit a fresh 52-week high.
Realty was the best sector on average at +3.73%, with construction materials and financial services also near the top. Financial services is the largest group in the index by count, so its strength did much of the lifting. At the other end, Textiles was the weakest at -1.01%, while oil and gas and capital goods also slipped on a day when most of the market went the other way.
| Sector | Average change | Stocks |
|---|---|---|
| Realty | +3.73% | 11 |

| Financial Services | +3.16% | 98 |

Top gainers
UNO Minda Ltd. topped the Nifty 500 list, ending the day at +11.54%. Ashok Leyland and Authum Investment were close behind. Most of the leaders traded far above their usual 20-day volume, which shows the moves had real participation behind them.
| Stock | Price | Change % | Volume vs 20-day |
|---|---|---|---|
| UNOMINDA | 1,335.00 | +11.54% | 10.7x |
| ASHOKLEY | 170.21 | +10.50% | 7.2x |
| AIIL | 569.60 | +10.40% | 8.6x |

Top losers
The sharpest move of the day went the wrong way. PI Industries Ltd. closed at -19.07%, the worst showing in the Nifty 500, on volume many times its 20-day average. Cummins India and Aptus Value Housing Finance also posted double-digit percentage falls, and Kirloskar Oil Engines was not far off.
Several of the biggest losers came from capital goods and engines, the same corner of the market that lagged at the sector level. The red was concentrated in a small set of names.

|---|---|---|---|
| PIIND | 1,770.00 | -19.07% | 30.1x |
| CUMMINSIND | 4,058.90 | -14.11% | 13.0x |
