href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\/nifty-auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\/nifty-auto\">Nifty Auto<\/a><\/a> rose 79.75 points, or 0.28%, to 28,921.25 in the opening session on 1 September 2026, compared with its previous close of 28,841.50.<\/li>\n<li>The index opened at 29,090.30, which was also its intraday high, and later traded down to 28,812.30 before the 10:00 AM IST update.<\/li>\n<li>Breadth was mixed: seven of 15 displayed stocks advanced while eight declined. Balkrishna Industries, Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto led the gainers, while Bharat Forge, Bosch and Samvardhana Motherson were among the notable laggards.<\/li>\n<li>What to watch is whether the index can retain its gain despite a slightly negative advance-decline balance and whether the leading gainers sustain their early-session moves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nifty_Auto_today_early-session_update\"><\/span>Nifty Auto today: early-session update<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nifty Auto today<\/strong> is positive in early trade, with the index standing at 28,921.25 at 10:00 AM IST. The 79.75-point rise from the previous close of 28,841.50 translates into a gain of 0.28%.<\/p>\n<p>The index began the session at 29,090.30 and touched the same level as its day high. It subsequently moved lower, with the session low recorded at 28,812.30. Even after moving below the previous close during the morning range, the index was back in positive territory at the latest update. This places the auto index among the better-performing configured sector indices in the opening session.<\/p>\n<p>The early read is constructive at the index level, but the composition of moves remains important. Gains in several prominent auto names are being balanced by declines across other stocks in the basket, making this a selective rather than broad-based advance.<\/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>Early-session reading<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Last traded price<\/td>\n<td>28,921.25<\/td>\n<td>Up 79.75 points from the previous close<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Previous close<\/td>\n<td>28,841.50<\/td>\n<td>Base for the day\u2019s 0.28% gain<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day high<\/td>\n<td>29,090.30<\/td>\n<td>Also the opening level<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day low<\/td>\n<td>28,812.30<\/td>\n<td>Below the previous close during the morning session<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The difference between the day high and day low was 278 points in the early session. With the latest level below the open but above the previous close, the index had given up part of its opening strength while remaining modestly higher for the day.<\/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 was the second top gaining sector index among the configured sector indices at the latest update. Its 0.28% rise trailed Nifty FMCG, which was up 0.39%, while it stood ahead of Nifty Metal, which gained 0.25%. This ranking reflects the actual percentage move at 10:00 AM IST rather than a view on future performance.<\/p>\n<p>The distinction is useful because the index\u2019s positive showing came in a mixed sector landscape. Nifty Auto\u2019s placement near the top of the configured gainers highlights relative early-session strength, even as the internal stock-level picture remained divided.<\/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>Of the 15 displayed Nifty Auto stocks, seven were advancing and eight were declining, with no unchanged stocks. The advance-decline ratio was 0.88, indicating that decliners narrowly outnumbered gainers even though the index was higher.<\/p>\n<p>This divergence shows why index direction and breadth should be read together. The positive index move indicates that gains in some stocks were sufficient to lift the benchmark, whereas the breadth data shows that participation was not uniform across the group.

Maruti Suzuki, however, declined 1.04% to 13,406.<\/p>\n<p>The supplied most-active list includes Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto and Eicher Motors. Their mixed moves mirror the sector\u2019s split breadth: four of these five stocks were positive, while Maruti Suzuki was lower.

Hero MotoCorp followed with a 2.53% gain to 5,588, while Bajaj Auto rose 1.81% to 12,349.

These moves provided the clearest positive pockets within the opening-session sector action.<\/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>Bharat Forge was the largest percentage loser, falling 3.04% to 2,041. Bosch declined 2.19% to 48,905 and Samvardhana Motherson fell 1.83% to 167.56. Maruti Suzuki was down 1.04% and Ashok Leyland declined 0.99%.<\/p>\n<p>Bharat Forge traded close to its session low of 2,040.10 at the latest update, while Bosch was near its low of 48,875. These are intraday observations that underline the pressure visible in parts of the index.<\/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 relevant names to track are Balkrishna Industries, Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, Tata Motors, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra and Bharat Forge. The first five were among the key positive contributors or notable gainers in the morning update, while Bharat Forge was the steepest percentage decliner.<\/p>\n<p>Watching whether these moves extend, reverse or consolidate can help show whether participation in Nifty Auto becomes broader. Maruti Suzuki and Bosch also remain relevant to the sector\u2019s balance after their early declines.<\/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 clear at the index level: Nifty Auto was up 0.28% and ranked second among the configured sector gainers at 10:00 AM IST. The index also recovered from its intraday low of 28,812.30 to trade above the previous close.<\/p>\n<p>Stock-level support came from Balkrishna Industries, Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, Tata Motors, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, Eicher Motors and TVS Motor. The presence of gains across these names offers a positive counterweight to the negative breadth reading.<\/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 opened at its day high of 29,090.30 and was trading below that level at the latest update. Further, eight displayed stocks were declining versus seven advancing. This mixed breadth means the positive index reading should be assessed alongside the uneven stock-level performance.<\/p>\n<p>Losses in Bharat Forge, Bosch, Samvardhana Motherson, Maruti Suzuki and Ashok Leyland show that weakness was present across a meaningful part of the sector basket. The early-session gain therefore does not represent a uniform move across all displayed auto stocks.<\/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 Auto today presents a measured early-session positive picture: the index is higher on the day and ranks as the second top gainer among configured sector indices, but it remains below its opening and day-high level.<\/p>\n<p>The key internal contrast is between index strength and breadth. Seven gainers were enough to lift the benchmark by 0.28%, yet eight stocks were lower. This makes leadership from stocks such as Balkrishna Industries, Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, Tata Motors and Mahindra &amp; Mahindra particularly relevant.<\/p>\n<p>Price action through the rest of the session can clarify whether the index builds on its recovery from the morning low or remains within its established 28,812.30-29,090.30 range.
