The index closed at 26,445.55 on 14 August 2026, with the update recorded at 4:15:00 PM IST. The 0.90% decline made pharma the top losing sector index among the configured sector indices tracked in this session.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nifty_Pharma_today_closing-bell_wrap\"><\/span>Nifty Pharma today: closing-bell wrap<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nifty Pharma began at 26,659.65, below its previous close of 26,686.80. It briefly reached 26,714.25, marginally above the prior close, before moving lower through the session. The index eventually touched 26,393.95 and settled at 26,445.55, a decline of 241.25 points.<\/p>\n<p>The close was 51.60 points above the intraday low and 268.70 points below the day\u2019s high. This placed the finish in the lower part of the session\u2019s 320.30-point range. In simple terms, the sector had an early upward stretch but ended the day under pressure.<\/p>\n<p>For readers tracking <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/share-market-today\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/share-market-today\">Univest Market View<\/a><\/a>, the pharma index\u2019s closing position and the breadth within its displayed stocks provide the clearest session-level reference points. The index move is an aggregate reading, while the individual stock moves show how widely that pressure was distributed.<\/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>Measure<\/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>26,686.80<\/td>\n<td>Reference level for the day<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Open<\/td>\n<td>26,659.65<\/td>\n<td>Opened below the previous close<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day high<\/td>\n<td>26,714.25<\/td>\n<td>Highest level of the session<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day low<\/td>\n<td>26,393.95<\/td>\n<td>Lowest level of the session<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Close\/LTP<\/td>\n<td>26,445.55<\/td>\n<td>Down 241.25 points, or 0.90%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The day\u2019s numbers show that Nifty Pharma finished below both its opening level and previous close.

Its 0.90% fall was steeper than the declines recorded by Nifty Mid Select and Nifty Metal, both down 0.71%, Nifty Auto, down 0.63%, Nifty FMCG, down 0.46%, Nifty Financial Services, down 0.43%, Nifty IT, down 0.31%, and Nifty Bank, down 0.25%.<\/p>\n<p>This ranking is based on percentage movement for the session. The 241.25-point decline in Nifty Pharma should therefore be viewed alongside its 0.90% fall, which is the 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>The displayed Nifty Pharma universe showed a distinctly negative breadth profile. Sixteen stocks declined and four rose, producing an advance-decline ratio of 0.25. No displayed stock was unchanged. That means decliners outnumbered advancers by four to one, aligning with the index\u2019s negative close.<\/p>\n<p>Broad participation matters because an index decline driven across many stocks conveys a different session picture from one led by only a small number of names. Here, the 16 decliners included both large and mid-sized pharma names, while the four gainers offered only selective counter-moves.<\/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 supplied heavyweight set was also largely lower. <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/sunpharma\/sun-pharmaceutical-industries-ltd-share-price-today\">Sun Pharmaceutical Industries<\/a> slipped 0.10% to 1,930.00, Divi\u2019s Laboratories fell 0.27% to 8,477.00, Torrent Pharmaceuticals lost 1.66% to 4,833.00, Cipla declined 0.60% to 1,450.00, and Dr. Reddy\u2019s Laboratories eased 0.50% to 1,200.00.<\/p>\n<p>The supplied most-active stock set contains the same five names. Their broadly lower closing moves were consistent with the sector\u2019s overall decline, while Torrent Pharmaceuticals stood out within this group with a 1.66% fall.

Ajanta Pharma and Mankind Pharma posted notable gains, and Granules India and Gland Pharma also finished positive. The index additionally closed 51.60 points above its intraday low, showing some distance from the weakest level of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Investors can also note that certain heavyweight names recorded relatively contained declines. Sun Pharmaceutical Industries was down 0.10%, Divi\u2019s Laboratories was down 0.27%, and Dr. Reddy\u2019s Laboratories was down 0.50%. This relative stability within selected larger names contrasted with sharper falls elsewhere in the sector.<\/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 cautious case is anchored in the 0.90% index decline and the 16:4 decliner-to-advancer split. Nifty Pharma closed below its open and previous close, and its finish remained much nearer the day\u2019s low than the day\u2019s high.<\/p>\n<p>Several stocks fell by more than 2%, including Natco Pharma, JB Chemicals &amp; Pharmaceuticals, Laurus Labs, Ipca Laboratories, Zydus Lifesciences, Aurobindo Pharma and Abbott India. The breadth and scale of these declines are the key cautionary observations from 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>Nifty Pharma today closed as the weakest configured sector index, combining a 0.90% fall with broad negative participation. The session started below the previous close, briefly moved above it, and then settled lower at 26,445.55.<\/p>\n<p>The index range of 26,393.95 to 26,714.25 provides a concise map of the day\u2019s movement. Its close in the lower part of that range keeps attention on whether the sector can show a broader recovery in the next session.<\/p>\n<p>The divergence between Ajanta Pharma\u2019s 1.61% rise and Natco Pharma\u2019s 5.10% decline underlines the importance of monitoring stock-level moves alongside the index. The relative steadiness in Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Divi\u2019s Laboratories and Dr. Reddy\u2019s Laboratories also remains relevant within the wider sector reading.<\/p>\n<p>For traders and investors, the key signal to watch is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 14 August 2026 at 4:18 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_Pharma_today\"><\/span>What was Nifty Pharma today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nifty Pharma closed at 26,445.55 on 14 August 2026, down 241.25 points or 0.90% from the previous close of 26,686.80.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_was_Nifty_Pharma_the_top_losing_sector_index\"><\/span>Why was Nifty Pharma the top losing sector index?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Its 0.90% decline was the largest percentage fall among the configured sector indices in the session.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_were_Nifty_Pharmas_day_high_and_day_low\"><\/span>What were Nifty Pharma\u2019s day high and day low?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The index recorded a day high of 26,714.25 and a day low of 26,393.95.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_was_the_breadth_within_Nifty_Pharma\"><\/span>How was the breadth within Nifty Pharma?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Among 20 displayed stocks, four advanced, 16 declined and none were unchanged.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_stocks_were_the_top_gainers_in_Nifty_Pharma\"><\/span>Which stocks were the top gainers in Nifty Pharma?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ajanta Pharma gained 1.61%, followed by Mankind Pharma at 0.87%, Granules India at 0.10% and Gland Pharma at 0.09%.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_stocks_were_the_biggest_losers_in_Nifty_Pharma\"><\/span>Which stocks were the biggest losers in Nifty Pharma?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Natco Pharma fell 5.10%, JB Chemicals &amp; Pharmaceuticals declined 3.87%, Laurus Labs lost 3.48%, and Ipca Laboratories dropped 3.46%.<\/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.
