At 31,088.90, it was below both its opening level and the previous close of 31,496.70. The 407.80-point decline reflects the actual movement in the sector index at the stated time.<\/p>\n<p>The index did recover from its intraday low of 30,668.10, but remained below the day\u2019s high of 31,234.05. This leaves the opening-bell picture cautious: the index had regained some ground from the low, while the broader early-session reading stayed negative.

These are intraday observations rather than forecasts.<\/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>Among the configured sector indices, Nifty IT was the second top losing sector index in the early session. Nifty Auto was lower by 2.20%, while Nifty IT\u2019s 1.29% fall ranked next among the declines. This ranking is based on the percentage moves recorded at 10:00:00 AM IST and provides context for the relative scale of the IT index\u2019s fall within the configured sector set.<\/p>\n<p>The ranking should be read as a snapshot rather than a full-day outcome. With the market session still underway, sector positions and individual stock moves can change through the day.<\/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 available display-safe breadth was uniformly negative. All nine displayed Nifty IT stocks declined, with no advancers and no unchanged stocks. That 0-to-9 advance-decline split indicates that the index weakness was spread across the displayed names rather than being confined to a small group.<\/p>\n<p>The declines ranged from 0.34% in LTIMindtree to 1.37% in Infosys. Such a spread is useful for reading participation: the sector index was lower, and each displayed stock also traded below its previous close at this point in the session.<\/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 group also reflected the sector\u2019s negative tone.

LTIMindtree was down 0.34% at Rs. 4,609.50.<\/p>\n<p>The supplied closely tracked names included Coforge, HCL Technologies, Infosys, L&amp;T Technology Services and LTIMindtree.

L&amp;T Technology Services followed at 1.35%, while Coforge lost 1.26%. HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra were lower by 1.22% and 1.21%, respectively. The clustering of these moves near or above a 1% decline reinforced the negative early-session sector reading.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the price ranges show variation in intraday movement. Infosys traded from Rs. 1,118.60 to Rs. 1,142.90, while Tech Mahindra moved between Rs. 1,604.50 and Rs. 1,637.20.

Nifty IT remained 420.80 points above its day low at the update time, indicating a recovery from 30,668.10. The LTP was also nearer to the day high than to the day low.<\/p>\n<p>At stock level, Infosys traded above its opening level of Rs. 1,137.70 at the stated LTP, while Tata Consultancy Services and LTIMindtree were also above their respective opening levels. These observations show that some names had moved up from their opening prices even as all displayed stocks remained lower versus their previous closes.<\/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 clearer in the breadth and index comparison. Nifty IT was down 1.29%, held below its opening level and previous close, and ranked as the second top losing configured sector index. All nine displayed stocks were declining, with no positive or unchanged names.<\/p>\n<p>Several key names were down by more than 1%, including Infosys, L&amp;T Technology Services, Coforge, HCL Technologies, Tech Mahindra and Wipro. The persistence of this broad negative participation will remain important to track as the session develops.<\/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-bell read for nifty it today is one of broad-based pressure. The index\u2019s fall was accompanied by negative moves across every displayed stock, making breadth a central part of the early-session assessment.<\/p>\n<p>The 30,668.10 to 31,234.05 range offers a clear record of the day\u2019s trading so far. The rebound from the low is notable, but the LTP of 31,088.90 still places the index below the opening level and below the previous close.<\/p>\n<p>For stock-specific tracking, the displayed declines in Infosys, L&amp;T Technology Services, Coforge, HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra merit attention because they were among the largest percentage falls in the group. Meanwhile, LTIMindtree\u2019s relatively smaller 0.34% decline provides a useful contrast within an otherwise negative set of displayed moves.<\/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 2 September 2026 at 10:05 AM 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_is_Nifty_IT_today\"><\/span>What is Nifty IT today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nifty IT was at 31,088.90 at 10:00:00 AM IST on 2 September 2026, down 407.80 points or 1.29% from the previous close.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_was_the_Nifty_IT_previous_close\"><\/span>What was the Nifty IT previous close?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The previous close for Nifty IT was 31,496.70.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_were_Nifty_ITs_day_high_and_day_low\"><\/span>What were Nifty IT\u2019s day high and day low?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nifty IT\u2019s day high was 31,234.05 and its day low was 30,668.10 at the time of this update.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_was_Nifty_IT_among_the_weaker_sector_indices\"><\/span>Why was Nifty IT among the weaker sector indices?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nifty IT was down 1.29%, making it the second top losing sector index among the configured sector indices in this early-session snapshot.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Nifty_IT_stocks_fell_the_most\"><\/span>Which Nifty IT stocks fell the most?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Among displayed stocks, Infosys fell 1.37%, L&amp;T Technology Services declined 1.35%, and Coforge was down 1.26%.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_was_the_Nifty_IT_breadth_today\"><\/span>How was the Nifty IT breadth today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>All nine displayed stocks were declining, with no advancers and no unchanged stocks at 10:00:00 AM IST.<\/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.
