nine displayable stocks: all nine advanced, with no decliners or unchanged stocks.<\/li>\n<li>Coforge, LTIMindtree, Tata Consultancy Services and Tech Mahindra were among the prominent gainers.

The index added 1,060.55 points, or 3.51%, over the previous close of 30,221.15. The move placed IT clearly ahead of the other configured sectoral benchmarks in percentage terms.<\/p>\n<p>The session began at 30,493.15, already above the previous close, and the index\u2019s intraday low was 30,473.50. From there, it moved higher to touch 31,322.90 before ending near that peak. The closing position indicates that the sector retained a substantial part of its intraday advance through the end of the session.<\/p>\n<p>This was not a narrowly confined move in the available stock set. Gains extended across all nine displayable Nifty IT stocks, ranging from 0.87% in L&amp;T Technology Services to 5.93% in Coforge. That broad participation gives useful context to the index\u2019s 3.51% rise.<\/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>Nifty IT\u2019s closing level of 31,281.70 compared with 30,221.15 at the previous close. The resulting point gain was 1,060.55. Its opening level was 30,493.15, while the day low of 30,473.50 was only slightly below the open. The index then reached a high of 31,322.90, creating an intraday range of 849.40 points.<\/p>\n<p>The close was 41.20 points below the high, or roughly 0.13% lower than the session peak. This is an observation of the day\u2019s price position rather than a forecast. For market participants tracking the sector, the sequence from a positive opening to a close near the high is the central price action feature of this closing-bell update.<\/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 top gaining sector index among the configured indices on 28 August. Its 3.51% rise was well ahead of the next positive moves in Nifty Metal, up 0.75%, and Nifty Pharma, up 0.53%. Nifty Mid Select and Nifty Financial Services recorded smaller gains, while Nifty Bank, Nifty Auto and Nifty FMCG ended lower.<\/p>\n<p>The ranking matters because it puts the IT index\u2019s move in a wider sectoral context. A gain of more than three percentage points stood apart from the rest of the configured group, making technology the session\u2019s clearest area of relative strength. Readers can follow the broader market context through <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/share-market-today\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/share-market-today\">Univest Market View<\/a><\/a>.<\/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>Participation was uniformly positive across the nine displayable stocks in the index. There were nine advancers, zero decliners and zero unchanged stocks. This means every displayable stock row moved higher on the day, supporting the upward index outcome across the available basket.<\/p>\n<p>The breadth picture was led by substantial gains in several names rather than a single isolated advance. Coforge rose 5.93%, LTIMindtree gained 4.73%, Tata Consultancy Services added 4.16% and Tech Mahindra moved up 3.53%. Infosys, HCL Technologies, Wipro, Mphasis and L&amp;T Technology Services also ended in positive territory.<\/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 stock list also reflected positive price action. Coforge rose 5.93%, LTIMindtree gained 4.73%, Infosys advanced 2.99%, HCL Technologies added 2.66% and L&amp;T Technology Services moved higher by 0.87%. The combination of gains across these listed names and the wider positive breadth reinforced the sector\u2019s firm close.<\/p>\n<p>The supplied active-stock list featured Coforge, HCL Technologies, Infosys, L&amp;T Technology Services and LTIMindtree. Their gains ranged from 0.87% to 5.93%, with Coforge and LTIMindtree posting the largest percentage increases within that group. This aligns the closing strength with participation across several closely tracked IT shares.<\/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><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/coforge\/coforge-ltd-share-price-today\">Coforge<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u20b92,014.60, up 5.93%<\/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\/ltm\/ltimindtree-ltd-share-price-today\">LTIMindtree<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u20b94,675.00, up 4.73%<\/td>\n<td>It was among the leading contributors to the broad positive showing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/tcs\/tata-consultancy-services-ltd-share-price-today\">Tata Consultancy Services<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u20b92,342.00, up 4.16%<\/td>\n<td>Its gain added to the strength seen in major IT names.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/infy\/infosys-ltd-share-price-today\">Infosys<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u20b91,144.00, up 2.99%<\/td>\n<td>It closed near its day high of \u20b91,145.00.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/hcltech\/hcl-technologies-ltd-share-price-today\">HCL Technologies<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u20b91,316.10, up 2.66%<\/td>\n<td>It participated in the sector-wide advance.<\/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, rising \u20b9112.80 to \u20b92,014.60, a 5.93% increase. Its intraday high was \u20b92,016.50, leaving the stock close to the day\u2019s top. LTIMindtree followed with a \u20b9211.00 gain, or 4.73%, to \u20b94,675.00 after touching \u20b94,700.00.<\/p>\n<p>Tata Consultancy Services gained \u20b993.60, or 4.16%, to \u20b92,342.00.

These price moves formed the upper end of the day\u2019s displayed Nifty IT gains.<\/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>Market participants may track Coforge after its 5.93% advance and close near its intraday high. LTIMindtree, which finished at \u20b94,675.00 after reaching \u20b94,700.00, also remains in focus. Tata Consultancy Services closed at \u20b92,342.00 following a 4.16% gain, while Tech Mahindra ended at \u20b91,640.90, up 3.53%.<\/p>\n<p>Infosys and HCL Technologies are additional stocks to watch after gains of 2.99% and 2.66%, respectively. Their next-session price action can help indicate whether the broad strength visible in Nifty IT today continues across the leading displayed names. These observations are intended for tracking market movement, not as buy or sell advice.<\/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 is straightforward: Nifty IT was the top gaining configured sector index, rose 3.51%, and closed near its intraday high. Its opening level and day low were both above the prior close, and the index built further gains through the session.<\/p>\n<p>Equally important, breadth was fully positive across the nine displayable stocks. The leading gains were not limited to one company, with Coforge, LTIMindtree, Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, Infosys and HCL Technologies all recording meaningful advances. This combination of index strength and broad participation defined the day\u2019s positive setup.<\/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 finished below its intraday high of 31,322.90, even though the gap was modest at 41.20 points. The next session will show whether the sector can maintain its position after a sharp one-day gain of 1,060.55 points. Individual stock moves varied materially, from 0.87% to 5.93%, so continued breadth will remain relevant.<\/p>\n<p>Traders can watch how Nifty IT behaves around its closing level of 31,281.70 and whether the displayed gainers remain positive together. A close near the session high is a useful observation from this session, but subsequent price action will determine the next phase of the move.<\/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 IT today stood out because its percentage gain was substantially higher than every other configured sector index. The 3.51% rise came with an end-of-session level close to the day high, placing the closing action at the centre of the sector narrative.<\/p>\n<p>The available breadth data adds depth to the headline index move. Nine out of nine displayable stocks advanced, with no displayed decliners or unchanged names. That is a clear sign of widespread positive price movement within the tracked set during this session.<\/p>\n<p>The strongest individual advances came from Coforge, LTIMindtree and Tata Consultancy Services, while Tech Mahindra and Infosys also posted notable gains. Meanwhile, HCL Technologies, Wipro, Mphasis and L&amp;T Technology Services ensured that the advance extended beyond the top few performers.<\/p>\n<p>For traders and investors, the key signal to watch is whether Nifty IT can sustain broad participation around its closing strength in the next session.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 28 August 2026 at 4:15 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=\"How_did_Nifty_IT_close_today\"><\/span>How did Nifty IT close today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nifty IT closed at 31,281.70 on 28 August 2026, up 1,060.55 points or 3.51% from 30,221.15.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_was_Nifty_ITs_intraday_high_and_low\"><\/span>What was Nifty IT\u2019s intraday high and low?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The index recorded a day high of 31,322.90 and a day low of 30,473.50.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_was_Nifty_IT_the_top_gaining_sector_index\"><\/span>Why was Nifty IT the top gaining sector index?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Its 3.51% gain was the highest percentage increase among the configured sector indices for the session.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_was_Nifty_IT_breadth_today\"><\/span>How was Nifty IT breadth today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>All nine displayable stocks advanced, with zero decliners and zero unchanged stocks.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Nifty_IT_stocks_gained_the_most\"><\/span>Which Nifty IT stocks gained the most?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Coforge gained 5.93%, followed by LTIMindtree at 4.73% and Tata Consultancy Services at 4.16%.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_IT_stocks_should_be_tracked_next_session\"><\/span>Which IT stocks should be tracked next session?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Coforge, LTIMindtree, Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, Infosys and HCL Technologies are among the displayed stocks to track following their positive closes.<\/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.
