At 10:00:00 AM IST, it stood at 29,446.20, a gain of 1.14% over the previous close. The index was only 11.15 points below its intraday high of 29,457.35, illustrating the strength of the opening-hour price action.<\/p>\n<p>The gain was supported by broad participation across the displayed auto basket rather than a rise in only one or two shares. Several vehicle makers, auto-component companies and tyre-related names were in positive territory, while two stocks traded lower. This mix is important because it shows the index advance was accompanied by a favourable advance-decline balance in the early session.<\/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<p>The index began the day at 29,012.45, marginally below the previous close of 29,113.40. Its day low was 29,011.30, close to the opening level, before the index climbed to a high of 29,457.35. The latest level of 29,446.20 represented a 332.80-point increase from the prior close.<\/p>\n<p>The intraday range so far was 446.05 points, calculated between the day low and day high. With the index trading near the upper end of that range at the update time, market participants can track whether the early upward positioning is retained as trading develops.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sector_ranking\"><\/span>Sector ranking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nifty Auto ranked as the second top gaining sector index among the configured sector indices in this update. Its 1.14% advance was behind Nifty IT, which gained 1.94%, while it was ahead of other positive indices in the configured set, including Nifty Mid Select and Nifty FMCG. This ranking places the auto space among the stronger pockets of the market in the opening session.<\/p>\n<p>Sector rankings are a useful intraday comparison because they place an index move in a wider market context. Here, the 1.14% rise in Nifty Auto was sizeable enough to secure the second position among the configured gainers at the stated time.<\/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>Market breadth within the displayed Nifty Auto stocks was constructive. Thirteen of the 15 displayed stocks advanced and two declined, producing an advance-decline ratio of 6.5. There were no unchanged stocks in the displayed set.<\/p>\n<p>A positive breadth reading alongside a rising index shows that gains were spread across most of the displayed names. The two declines were Maruti Suzuki India, down 0.63%, and Ashok Leyland, down 0.54%. Their moves contrasted with gains across the remaining displayed stocks, including several of the index&#8217;s widely followed names.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heavyweights_versus_broader_participation\"><\/span>Heavyweights versus broader participation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The heavyweight set offered a mixed but broadly positive picture. Mahindra &amp; Mahindra gained 1.43% to Rs 3,454.70, Tata Motors rose 0.83% to Rs 348.20, Bajaj Auto added 0.90% to Rs 11,725, and Eicher Motors advanced 0.88% to Rs 8,037.50. Maruti Suzuki India was the exception in this group, declining 0.63% to Rs 13,991.<\/p>\n<p>The supplied most-active stock set also featured Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki India, Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto and Eicher Motors. Within that group, four stocks were positive and one was negative at the update time. That pattern complemented the broader 13-to-two advance-decline split.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Nifty_Auto_stocks\"><\/span>Key Nifty Auto stocks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Stock<\/th>\n<th>Move<\/th>\n<th>Why it matters<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/motherson\/samvardhana-motherson-international-ltd-share-price-today\">Samvardhana Motherson International<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Up 5.94% to Rs 164.21<\/td>\n<td>It was the largest percentage gainer among the displayed stocks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/heromotoco\/hero-motocorp-ltd-share-price-today\">Hero MotoCorp<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Up 2.88% to Rs 5,710.50<\/td>\n<td>It was one of the strongest early-session advances in the index.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/exideind\/exide-industries-ltd-share-price-today\">Exide Industries<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Up 2.12% to Rs 484.30<\/td>\n<td>Its gain added to the positive participation across the basket.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/tvsmotor\/tvs-motor-company-ltd-share-price-today\">TVS Motor<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Up 1.75% to Rs 4,451.60<\/td>\n<td>It traded close to its day high of Rs 4,458.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/mandm\/mahindra-and-mahindra-ltd-share-price-today\">Mahindra &amp; Mahindra<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Up 1.43% to Rs 3,454.70<\/td>\n<td>Its positive move stood out within the heavyweight set.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Biggest_positive_movers\"><\/span>Biggest positive movers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Samvardhana Motherson International led the displayed gainers, rising 5.94% from Rs 155 to Rs 164.21. The stock touched Rs 164.60 during the session. Hero MotoCorp followed with a 2.88% rise to Rs 5,710.50 after trading between Rs 5,541 and Rs 5,739.<\/p>\n<p>Exide Industries gained 2.12% to Rs 484.30, while TVS Motor rose 1.75% to Rs 4,451.60. Mahindra &amp; Mahindra added 1.43% to Rs 3,454.70. These were the five largest positive percentage movers in the displayed sector list.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Biggest_negative_movers\"><\/span>Biggest negative movers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Maruti Suzuki India was the largest decliner among the displayed stocks, falling Rs 89, or 0.63%, to Rs 13,991. The stock&#8217;s intraday range was Rs 13,811 to Rs 13,994. Ashok Leyland declined Rs 0.95, or 0.54%, to Rs 176.55, after moving between Rs 175.52 and Rs 177.06.<\/p>\n<p>These declines did not change the overall positive breadth picture, but they remain relevant to the composition of the early-session sector move.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stocks_to_watch_next_session\"><\/span>Stocks to watch next session<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For the next session, the price action in Samvardhana Motherson International, Hero MotoCorp, Exide Industries, TVS Motor, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra and Maruti Suzuki India will be worth monitoring. The first five were among the stronger positive names in the early session, while Maruti Suzuki India moved against the broader sector trend. Observing whether these stocks extend, moderate or reverse their respective intraday moves can help frame the next sector update.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_constructive_case\"><\/span>The constructive case<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The constructive evidence for Nifty Auto today is visible in the index gain, its position near the day high, and the breadth reading. A 1.14% advance, combined with 13 advancing displayed stocks out of 15, points to widespread early-session strength. Positive moves in Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto and Eicher Motors also aligned several heavyweight names with the overall index direction.<\/p>\n<p>The leadership list was varied, with Samvardhana Motherson International, Hero MotoCorp, Exide Industries and TVS Motor posting larger percentage gains. This range of positive moves across displayed stocks added depth to the sector&#8217;s opening advance.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_cautious_case\"><\/span>The cautious case<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The index was near its day high at the update time, so the next phase of trading will determine whether this early strength is sustained. Maruti Suzuki India and Ashok Leyland remained in the red despite the positive sector reading, showing that the advance was not uniform across every displayed stock.<\/p>\n<p>Investors can also keep the opening range in view. Nifty Auto opened at 29,012.45, recorded a low of 29,011.30 and a high of 29,457.35. How the index trades within this established intraday range will remain a key observation through the session.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Univest_Insights\"><\/span>Univest Insights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The opening update shows Nifty Auto as one of the strongest configured sector indices on 7 August 2026. Its second-place ranking among gainers reflects a meaningful 332.80-point advance from the previous close, with the index trading at 29,446.20 at 10:00:00 AM IST.<\/p>\n<p>Breadth gives the move added context. With 13 advancers and two decliners among 15 displayed stocks, the advance extended well beyond the top performer. The positive moves across both component makers and major automobile names made the early-session picture broadly constructive.<\/p>\n<p>The next useful comparison is between the index&#8217;s latest level and its day high of 29,457.35.
