session will show whether this broad positive participation can continue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the closing-bell update for <strong>nifty it today<\/strong>, the technology index ended the session in positive territory and ranked as the second top gaining sector index among the configured sector indices. The move was supported by gains across a majority of the displayed stocks, although a few large names closed marginally lower.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nifty_IT_today_a_positive_end-of-session_wrap\"><\/span>Nifty IT today: a positive end-of-session wrap<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nifty IT settled at 31,453.90, up 121.35 points from the previous close of 31,332.55. The 0.39% rise marked a firm end to the session after the index had traded as low as 31,098.60 during the day. Its closing level was close to the intraday high, indicating that the index recovered from lower levels and retained its gains into the close.<\/p>\n<p>The session began at 31,277.00, below the previous closing mark. From there, the index moved across a 360.70-point intraday range between 31,098.60 and 31,459.30. The closing position near the day\u2019s upper end is an observation of the session\u2019s price action, while the positive close establishes the day\u2019s direction.<\/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>Level<\/th>\n<th>Session reading<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Previous close<\/td>\n<td>31,332.55<\/td>\n<td>Reference level for the day<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Open<\/td>\n<td>31,277.00<\/td>\n<td>Opened below the previous close<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day low<\/td>\n<td>31,098.60<\/td>\n<td>Lowest level during the session<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day high<\/td>\n<td>31,459.30<\/td>\n<td>Highest level during the session<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>LTP \/ close<\/td>\n<td>31,453.90<\/td>\n<td>Up 121.35 points, or 0.39%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>At 31,453.90, the index was 5.40 points below its day high. The close was 355.30 points above the day low. These figures place the closing level near the upper boundary of the day\u2019s range and provide a concise snapshot of how Nifty IT today progressed from its opening level.<\/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 IT was the second top gaining sector index among the configured sector indices on 13 August 2026. Its 0.39% gain was behind Nifty FMCG, which rose 0.84%, and ahead of Nifty Mid Select, which gained 0.30%, and Nifty Auto, which added 0.10%. This ranking reflects the reported percentage movement across the configured index set for the session.<\/p>\n<p>The position is relevant because it places IT among the day\u2019s better-performing pockets within that comparison set. At the same time, the ranking is a session-specific measure: the key information from the close remains the index\u2019s 121.35-point gain, its proximity to the intraday high and the positive stock-level breadth.<\/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 was positive across the nine display-safe Nifty IT stocks. Seven stocks advanced, while two declined and none were unchanged. That works out to an advance-decline ratio of 3.5, meaning there were three and a half advancing stocks for every declining stock in the displayed basket.<\/p>\n<p>The breadth picture aligns with the index\u2019s positive finish. Gains were spread across Coforge, TCS, Tech Mahindra, L&amp;T Technology Services, HCL Technologies, Mphasis and LTIMindtree. On the other side, Wipro and Infosys ended lower. This mix shows that the 0.39% index gain was accompanied by participation from a majority of the displayed names rather than being limited to a single advancing stock.<\/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>Within the available heavyweight list, <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/coforge\/coforge-ltd-share-price-today\">Coforge<\/a> rose 1.53%, <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/hcltech\/hcl-technologies-ltd-share-price-today\">HCL Technologies<\/a> gained 0.34%, and <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/ltts\/landt-technology-services-ltd-share-price-today\">L&amp;T Technology Services<\/a> added 0.72%. LTIMindtree was also positive, up 0.06%. Infosys, however, slipped 0.09%.<\/p>\n<p>The available most-active stock list also includes Coforge, HCL Technologies, Infosys, L&amp;T Technology Services and LTIMindtree. Their mixed but predominantly positive closing moves underline the broader participation visible in the breadth data. Coforge\u2019s 1.53% advance was the strongest percentage gain among the displayed stocks, while the modest declines in Infosys and Wipro limited, but did not reverse, the sector\u2019s positive close.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Nifty_IT_stocks\"><\/span>Key Nifty IT 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>Coforge<\/td>\n<td>\u20b91,829.00, up 1.53%<\/td>\n<td>Strongest percentage gainer among the displayed stocks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TCS<\/td>\n<td>\u20b92,375.00, up 1.08%<\/td>\n<td>Closed at its day high of \u20b92,375.00.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tech Mahindra<\/td>\n<td>\u20b91,639.00, up 0.86%<\/td>\n<td>Was among the leading positive movers.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>L&amp;T Technology Services<\/td>\n<td>\u20b93,604.70, up 0.72%<\/td>\n<td>Added to the sector\u2019s positive participation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wipro<\/td>\n<td>\u20b9183.10, down 0.46%<\/td>\n<td>Largest percentage decline among the displayed stocks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infosys<\/td>\n<td>\u20b91,175.00, down 0.09%<\/td>\n<td>Its modest decline contrasted with the broader positive breadth.<\/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>Coforge led the displayed gainers with a 1.53% rise to \u20b91,829.00, after trading between \u20b91,788.00 and \u20b91,829.90. TCS followed with a 1.08% gain to \u20b92,375.00; its closing price matched its day high. Tech Mahindra advanced 0.86% to \u20b91,639.00, though its day high was \u20b91,652.80.<\/p>\n<p>L&amp;T Technology Services gained 0.72% to \u20b93,604.70, HCL Technologies rose 0.34% to \u20b91,370.00 and Mphasis added 0.13% to \u20b92,541.00.

Nifty IT rose 0.39%, settled above the previous close, and finished only 5.40 points below the day high. The displayed breadth was positive, with seven advancers against two decliners. The strongest gains came from Coforge, TCS, Tech Mahindra and L&amp;T Technology Services, while HCL Technologies, Mphasis and LTIMindtree also ended higher.<\/p>\n<p>This combination of a positive index close, an upper-range finish and more advancing than declining stocks gives the session a constructive end-of-day profile. It records price action and participation, rather than attributing the movement to any unverified catalyst.<\/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 did open below its previous close and touched 31,098.60 before recovering. Also, two displayed stocks\u2014Wipro and Infosys\u2014finished lower, while LTIMindtree and Mphasis posted relatively modest gains of 0.06% and 0.13%, respectively. These details show variation within the sector even as the overall index closed higher.<\/p>\n<p>The next session will therefore be important for assessing whether the broad positive breadth and near-high close are sustained.

The close near the day high adds context to the headline percentage gain.<\/p>\n<p>Stock participation was favourable, with seven of the nine displayed names ending higher. Coforge\u2019s 1.53% jump and TCS\u2019s 1.08% gain were the leading moves, while Tech Mahindra and L&amp;T Technology Services added further strength to the positive side of the ledger.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the sector\u2019s gains occurred alongside declines in Wipro and Infosys. This makes the breadth reading more useful than any single stock move: it captures a positive majority while retaining the mixed details within the basket.<\/p>\n<p>For traders and investors, the key signal to watch is whether Nifty IT can maintain positive breadth and continue to close near the upper end of its intraday range.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 13 August 2026 at 4:16 PM IST<\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-login-cta\" style=\"margin:28px 0;padding:24px;border-radius:10px;background:#eef5ff;border:1px solid #cddff7;text-align:center\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Know_more_with_Univest\"><\/span>Know more with Univest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Log in to Univest to explore market insights, track stocks, and get <strong>3 free trade ideas<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/share-market-today\">Share Market Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in\" style=\"display:inline-block;padding:11px 20px;border-radius:6px;background:#1f4e79;color:#fff !important;text-decoration:none;font-weight:700\">Know More &#8211; Log In<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_was_Nifty_IT_today\"><\/span>What was Nifty IT today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nifty IT closed at 31,453.90 on 13 August 2026, up 121.35 points or 0.39% from 31,332.55.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_were_the_day_high_and_day_low_for_Nifty_IT\"><\/span>What were the day high and day low for Nifty IT?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The index recorded a day high of 31,459.30 and a day low of 31,098.60.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_was_the_second_top_gaining_sector_index\"><\/span>Which was the second top gaining sector index?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nifty IT was the second top gaining sector index among the configured sector indices, with a gain of 0.39%.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_was_Nifty_IT_breadth_at_the_close\"><\/span>How was Nifty IT breadth at the close?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Among nine display-safe stocks, seven advanced and two declined, with no unchanged stocks.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_stocks_led_Nifty_IT_gains\"><\/span>Which stocks led Nifty IT gains?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Coforge gained 1.53%, TCS rose 1.08%, Tech Mahindra added 0.86% and L&amp;T Technology Services increased 0.72%.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Nifty_IT_stocks_declined\"><\/span>Which Nifty IT stocks declined?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Wipro fell 0.46% and Infosys slipped 0.09% in the displayed stock basket.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Data updated: 13 August 2026 at 4:15:00 PM IST.<\/strong><\/p>\n<section class=\"univest-disclaimer\">\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disclaimer\"><\/span>Disclaimer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Investments in securities markets are subject to market risks.
