The index finished at 29,113.40, down 1.01% or 298.15 points from its previous close of 29,411.55. It opened at 29,375.40 and moved lower through the session, reaching an intraday low of 29,050.75 before ending modestly above that level.<\/p>\n<p>The closing reading places the index 270.55 points below its opening level and 298.15 points below the previous close. The session\u2019s range of 333.20 points, from the high of 29,383.95 to the low of 29,050.75, shows that the index stayed under pressure after beginning the day below the prior close.<\/p>\n<p>The weakness was not confined to a handful of names. The displayed stock-level picture showed more declining shares than advancing shares, while select stocks delivered positive moves. That split is important when tracking <strong>nifty auto today<\/strong>, because the index-level fall arrived alongside a clearly negative breadth reading.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Price_snapshot\"><\/span>Price snapshot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Metric<\/th>\n<th>Closing-session reading<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Last traded price<\/td>\n<td>29,113.40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Previous close<\/td>\n<td>29,411.55<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Change<\/td>\n<td>-298.15 points (-1.01%)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day high<\/td>\n<td>29,383.95<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day low<\/td>\n<td>29,050.75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Nifty Auto\u2019s high was only 8.55 points above its opening level of 29,375.40, whereas the index fell as low as 29,050.75.

Its 1.01% decline was marginally steeper than Nifty Metal\u2019s 0.99% fall and exceeded Nifty IT\u2019s 0.95% decline. In contrast, Nifty Bank gained 0.56%, while Nifty Financial Services edged up 0.07%.<\/p>\n<p>This ranking gives the auto index move added context within the tracked sector set: auto finished as the weakest sector index for the day. The 298.15-point decline also slightly exceeded the 297.80-point fall recorded by Nifty IT, though percentage changes remain the more comparable measure across indices at different levels.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Constituent_breadth\"><\/span>Constituent breadth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Breadth across the 15 displayed Nifty Auto stocks was tilted towards declines.

Bajaj Auto, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki also ended lower. On the positive side, Exide Industries rose 1.55%, followed by Bharat Forge, Samvardhana Motherson International and Ashok Leyland.<\/p>\n<p>The breadth count supports the index\u2019s negative close: declines outnumbered advances by 11 to four.
