Sector Insights
The index displayed mixed breadth, with gains concentrated in auto ancillaries and two-wheelers (TMPV, EICHERMOT), while traditional heavyweights like M&M and TVSMOTOR dragged the index lower. The decline was largely driven by profit booking in the PSU and tractor segments, leading to a negative close despite pockets of strength in the ancillary space.

SONACOMS and BHARATFORG surged significantly on high volume, outperforming the broader index. Conversely, M&M was the standout loser, falling over 2% and contributing heavily to the index's value decline. EICHERMOT and TMPV also saw positive momentum, supporting the sector's gains.

- High volatility in volume-driven stocks (TMPV, SONACOMS).
