MUMBAI – Benchmark indices recovered from a slow start and ended higher for the second straight session Tuesday. Both indices fell after opening marginally higher, but buying at lower levels helped them recover and end in the green. The recovery was led by index heavyweights such as Larsen & Toubro, Hindustan Unilever, State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank. Reliance Industries also recovered from its day's low and ended the session higher.

 

The Nifty 50 ended at 25694.95 points, up 120.60 points or 0.5%. The index moved in a range of around 260 points during the session and managed to cross the 25700 level, but failed to end above it. Analysts had pegged the 25700 level as crucial for the Nifty 50 to surpass for further gains. The BSE Sensex ended at 83871.32 points, up 335.97 points or 0.4%.

 

In the broader market, mid-cap indices gained while small-cap indices ended lower. Sectoral indices ended mixed. The Nifty India Defence and Nifty IT were the top gainers for the second straight session. On the other hand, financial services stocks were the worst hit and the Nifty Financial Services Ex-Bank declined 1.5%, weighed down by Bajaj Finance and Bajaj Finserv.

 

Bajaj Finance hit a one-month low of INR 997 intraday, before closing over 7% lower at INR 1,005.20. The stock fell after the company's bottom line for Jul-Sept missed analysts' estimates. The company revised downward its growth guidance for 2025-26 (Apr-Mar) to 22-23% from 23-24?rlier. Some brokerages highlighted concerns such as elevated credit costs, cut in guidance, and stress in some sections of the company's loan book. JM Financial downgraded the stock to 'add' from 'buy' after the earnings. Its parent company Bajaj Finserv was already down around 7% ahead of its earnings on Tuesday, and failed to recover despite its net profit and revenue for the September quarter rising 8% and 11%, respectively, on a consolidated basis. The stock ended 6% lower. Both the Bajaj group stocks were the worst hit in the Nifty 50.

 

On the other hand, Interglobe Aviation and Bharat Electronics ended around 3% higher each and were the top gainers in the 50-stock index. The latter was up for the third straight session, having fallen for three consecutive sessions prior to that. Mahindra & Mahindra, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, and HCL Technologies ended 2% higher each.

Data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India showed inflows into large-cap equity funds fell to INR 9.72 billion in October from INR 23.19 billion the previous month. Total inflows in open-ended equity funds dropped to INR 246.90 billion in October, from INR 304.22 billion in September. This was the fourth straight month that inflows into equity funds fell, despite the Nifty 50 gaining in both September and October, rising cumulatively by 5%.

 

Vodafone Idea shares ended 8% higher. The stock was by far the best Nifty 200 performer after the struggling telecommunications major reported better-than-expected financial performance for the September quarter, with top line beating Street's estimate and net loss coming in lower than expected. The company's loss narrowed year-on-year and sequentially supported by higher average revenue per user and a double-digit fall in finance costs. Bharat Forge, which traded flat-to-slightly lower ahead of its September quarter earnings, ended the session 6% higher despite its top line falling on year for the fifth straight quarter in Jul-Sept. Both its net profit and sales missed analysts' estimates. Bharat Heavy Electricals gained nearly 5% and ended higher for the third straight session.

 

On the other hand, Britannia Industries fell nearly 7% to a near two-week low early in the day after the company's Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Varun Berry resigned from his post after over 12 years with the company. The stock recovered a bit but still ended 3% lower. Berry had offered to serve the notice period but the company's board waived the requirement and he was relieved from the post Monday. Britannia had already appointed Rakshit Hargave, former head of Birla Opus Paints, as chief executive officer last week. Following Berry's resignation, Hargave will hold the post of managing director as well from Dec. 15. There could be some near-term pressure on the stock price due to Berry's exit, CNBC-TV18 cited Motilal Oswal Financial Services as saying.

 

Among small-cap stocks, Poly Medicure ended 11% higher and was the top gainer in the Nifty 500. The stock snapped a three-session fall, during which it had declined nearly 5%. Hindustan Copper ended over 6% higher after its net profit for the September quarter rose 83% on year. KEC International also gained over 6?ter its consolidated net profit for the quarter surged 88% on year. Its top line rose 19% on year.

 

On the other hand, trading in Transformers and Rectifiers India was stopped after it hit the 10% lower band early in trade. The stock ended in the green in only two of the last 17 sessions and has fallen over 42% in that period. The company reported a tepid set of numbers for Jul-Sept during the weekend, and its management sharply reduced FY26 revenue guidance to INR 26 billion from INR 35 billion because of supply-chain constraints and delayed commissioning of its facility at Changodhar in Gujarat. After the earnings announcement, Nuvama Institutional Equities downgraded the stock to 'hold' and cut the target price sharply by 53% to INR 334. HBL Engineering ended nearly 10% lower.
