href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\/nifty-it\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\/nifty-it\">Nifty IT<\/a><\/a> traded at 32,415.55 in the early session on 22 October 2026, down 6.95 points or 0.02% from its previous close of 32,422.50.<\/li>\n<li>The index moved between 32,232.50 and 32,569.30, showing a 336.80-point intraday range by 10:00 AM IST.<\/li>\n<li>Breadth was slightly tilted lower, with four stocks advancing and five declining. Coforge and Wipro led the gainers, while L&amp;T Technology Services saw the sharpest decline.<\/li>\n<li>For nifty it today, the next session\u2019s watchpoints are the index\u2019s ability to hold near 32,415.55 and whether participation improves from the current 4:5 advance-decline split.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nifty_IT_today_early-session_update\"><\/span>Nifty IT today: early-session update<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nifty IT today was nearly unchanged in early trade, slipping 0.02% to 32,415.55 as of 10:00 AM IST. Although the index was marginally below its previous close of 32,422.50, it stood above its opening level of 32,379.70. The early movement therefore reflected a mixed start rather than a broad directional move across IT stocks.<\/p>\n<p>The index\u2019s narrow percentage change concealed notable stock-level variation. Gains in Coforge, Wipro, Infosys and LTIMindtree contrasted with declines in L&amp;T Technology Services, HCL Technologies, Mphasis, TCS and Tech Mahindra. This split kept the index close to flat even as individual prices moved more visibly.<\/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 opened at 32,379.70, rose as high as 32,569.30 and fell to a session low of 32,232.50 before standing at 32,415.55. The latest level was 6.95 points below the previous close of 32,422.50. From the day\u2019s low, the index had recovered 183.05 points, while it remained 153.75 points below the intraday high.<\/p>\n<p>That range places the current reading in the middle of the morning\u2019s trading band. The early session has therefore shown both buying and selling interest, with neither side establishing a decisive advantage at the index 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 ranked as the strongest among India\u2019s NSE sector indices tracked in this comparison, despite its marginal 0.02% decline. It earned the top position because every other listed index was lower by a greater percentage during the session. The ranking from strongest to steepest fall was: Nifty IT, down 0.02%; Nifty Bank, down 0.57%; Nifty Pharma, down 0.69%; Nifty Financial Services, down 0.77%; Nifty Mid Select, down 1.11%; Nifty Auto, down 1.26%; Nifty FMCG, down 1.38%; and Nifty Metal, down 1.57%.<\/p>\n<p>This relative position highlights IT\u2019s comparative steadiness in the opening phase. It does not change the fact that the index was marginally below the previous close, but it does show that the sector held up better than each of the other indices in the comparison.<\/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>Among Nifty IT stocks, four advanced, five declined and none were unchanged. The advance-decline ratio stood at 0.80, indicating that decliners held a modest numerical edge. Breadth was therefore mildly cautious, even though the index itself remained close to flat.<\/p>\n<p>Coforge gained 1.44% and Wipro rose 1.12%, providing the strongest positive moves. Infosys added 0.29% and LTIMindtree gained 0.23%. On the other side, L&amp;T Technology Services declined 3.55%, followed by HCL Technologies at 0.73% and Mphasis at 0.49%.<\/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 named heavyweight group showed a mixed pattern. Coforge advanced 1.44% to \u20b91,979.00, Infosys rose 0.29% to \u20b91,171.40 and LTIMindtree added 0.23% to \u20b94,308.00. HCL Technologies fell 0.73% to \u20b91,413.80, while L&amp;T Technology Services declined 3.55% to \u20b93,854.40.<\/p>\n<p>The closely tracked set of Coforge, HCL Technologies, Infosys, L&amp;T Technology Services and LTIMindtree similarly reflected two-way movement. This divergence explains why the sector index stayed near its previous close despite several individual stocks posting moves of more than 1%.<\/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>+1.44% to \u20b91,979.00<\/td>\n<td>It was the strongest gainer among the named IT stocks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/wipro\/wipro-ltd-share-price-today\">Wipro<\/a><\/td>\n<td>+1.12% to \u20b9191.28<\/td>\n<td>Its advance added positive participation to the sector.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/infy\/infosys-ltd-share-price-today\">Infosys<\/a><\/td>\n<td>+0.29% to \u20b91,171.40<\/td>\n<td>It remained positive while the index traded nearly flat.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/ltts\/landt-technology-services-ltd-share-price-today\">L&amp;T Technology Services<\/a><\/td>\n<td>-3.55% to \u20b93,854.40<\/td>\n<td>It was the largest negative mover in the sector.<\/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>-0.73% to \u20b91,413.80<\/td>\n<td>Its decline added to the cautious breadth reading.<\/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 positive side, rising \u20b928.00 to \u20b91,979.00 after trading between \u20b91,952.00 and \u20b91,986.60.

Nifty IT was the strongest index in the session-wide comparison, declining only 0.02% while all other listed sector indices fell more. It also traded above its opening level by 10:00 AM IST and recovered from the day\u2019s low. Positive moves in Coforge, Wipro, Infosys and LTIMindtree demonstrate that buying interest remained present within parts of 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 comes from breadth and stock-level dispersion. Decliners outnumbered advancers by five to four, and L&amp;T Technology Services fell 3.55%. HCL Technologies, Mphasis, TCS and Tech Mahindra also traded lower. A near-flat index alongside a negative breadth reading calls for attention to whether gains broaden in the next 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 IT\u2019s early-session position is best read as relative resilience rather than outright strength. The index was the least weak among the compared sector indices, but its own movement remained marginally negative versus the previous close.<\/p>\n<p>The wide gap between the 1.44% gain in Coforge and the 3.55% fall in L&amp;T Technology Services captures the session\u2019s mixed character. Such dispersion can keep the index steady while creating distinctly different outcomes across individual IT stocks.<\/p>\n<p>Investors following nifty it today can use the sector screener alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/share-market-today\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/share-market-today\">Univest Market View<\/a><\/a> to track how this balance develops through the trading day.
