The key watchpoint is whether the index holds close to its session low.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Nifty Auto today<\/strong> reflects early-session pressure across a broad set of automobile-linked stocks.

The index opened at 25,652.95, initially moving above the previous close before reaching an intraday high of 25,743.85. It subsequently moved lower and was trading only 15.25 points above the day low of 25,448.00 at the time of this update.<\/p>\n<p>This places the index below both its opening level and its previous close in the opening phase. The move is an index-level reading of the sector, while stock performance within Nifty Auto remained mixed rather than uniform.<\/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<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Last traded level<\/td>\n<td>25,463.25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Previous close<\/td>\n<td>25,591.25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Session change<\/td>\n<td>-128.00 points (-0.50%)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day high<\/td>\n<td>25,743.85<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day low<\/td>\n<td>25,448.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The intraday range so far is 295.85 points.

It is down 0.50%, matching the percentage decline in Nifty Mid Select, while Nifty Metal has a smaller fall of 0.27%. The complete comparison below is ordered from the strongest gain to the steepest fall.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nifty IT: +2.41%.<\/li>\n<li>Nifty Bank: +0.15%.<\/li>\n<li>Nifty Pharma: +0.14%.<\/li>\n<li>Nifty FMCG: +0.11%.<\/li>\n<li>Nifty Financial Services: +0.04%.<\/li>\n<li>Nifty Metal: -0.27%.<\/li>\n<li>Nifty Auto: -0.50%.<\/li>\n<li>Nifty Mid Select: -0.50%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The contrast is clear: IT led the gains, several indices held modestly positive territory, and the auto index remained among the weakest readings.

Of the 15 stocks in the sector, 12 declined and 3 advanced, with no unchanged stocks. That translates to one advancing stock for every four declining stocks.<\/p>\n<p>The breadth reading matters because the index decline was accompanied by weakness across most of its stocks rather than being limited to a small group. At the same time, the presence of three gainers shows that the sector was not moving in a single direction.<\/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>Among the sector heavyweights, Mahindra &amp; Mahindra fell 0.59% to Rs. 2,889.80, Maruti Suzuki India slipped 0.08% to Rs. 11,466.00, Bajaj Auto declined 0.20% to Rs. 10,266.00 and Eicher Motors lost 1.01% to Rs. 7,274.50. Tata Motors was an exception, edging up 0.11% to Rs. 278.30.<\/p>\n<p>The named active stocks also included Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki India, Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto and Eicher Motors. Their mixed moves, alongside the negative breadth, underline the difference between individual stock resilience and the overall sector reading.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Nifty_Auto_stocks\"><\/span>Key Nifty Auto 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\/tiindi\/tube-investments-of-india-ltd-share-price-today\">Tube Investments of India<\/a><\/td>\n<td>-1.28% to Rs. 2,142.20<\/td>\n<td>Sharpest percentage decline among the named stocks.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/bharatforg\/bharat-forge-ltd-share-price-today\">Bharat Forge<\/a><\/td>\n<td>-1.20% to Rs. 1,777.00<\/td>\n<td>One of the larger early declines in the sector.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/eichermot\/eicher-motors-ltd-share-price-today\">Eicher Motors<\/a><\/td>\n<td>-1.01% to Rs. 7,274.50<\/td>\n<td>A heavyweight stock trading lower by more than 1%.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/tvsmotor\/tvs-motor-company-ltd-share-price-today\">TVS Motor Company<\/a><\/td>\n<td>-0.92% to Rs. 4,036.50<\/td>\n<td>Its price was at Rs. 4,036.50, close to the day low of Rs. 4,036.00.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/heromotoco\/hero-motocorp-ltd-share-price-today\">Hero MotoCorp<\/a><\/td>\n<td>+0.32% to Rs. 5,246.50<\/td>\n<td>Strongest percentage gainer in the sector.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/tmpv\/tata-motors-ltd-share-price-today\">Tata Motors<\/a><\/td>\n<td>+0.11% to Rs. 278.30<\/td>\n<td>One of only three stocks in positive territory.<\/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>Hero MotoCorp led the positive side with a 0.32% gain to Rs. 5,246.50.

Eicher Motors fell 1.01%, TVS Motor Company declined 0.92%, and Balkrishna Industries was lower by 0.86%. These five names were the largest percentage decliners in the sector at the time of the update.<\/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>Watch Tube Investments of India after its 1.28% decline and Bharat Forge after its 1.20% fall. Eicher Motors and TVS Motor Company also merit attention following declines of more than 0.90%. On the positive side, Hero MotoCorp and Tata Motors stand out because they remained higher while the overall index was lower. These are watchlist observations, not investment recommendations.<\/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>There are constructive elements within the early reading despite the index decline. Three stocks were positive, led by Hero MotoCorp\u2019s 0.32% advance. Tata Motors and Samvardhana Motherson International also held gains. Nifty Auto had earlier reached 25,743.85 after the open, demonstrating that the index traded above its previous close during the session.<\/p>\n<p>The index also remains 15.25 points above its day low at the stated time. That distance is small, but it establishes a clear level for readers monitoring the next phase of trade.<\/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 reading comes from the combination of a 0.50% index decline, a position near the session low and negative breadth of 12 decliners against 3 advancers. The move was also weaker than Nifty Metal\u2019s 0.27% fall and contrasted with gains in Nifty IT, Bank, Pharma, FMCG and Financial Services.<\/p>\n<p>Several notable sector stocks were lower at once, including Mahindra &amp; Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki India, Bajaj Auto and Eicher Motors. The sector\u2019s next movement will determine whether the opening weakness broadens or whether individual gainers provide a counterbalance.<\/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 is an early-session picture of broad pressure rather than a completely one-sided stock market move. The index\u2019s fall from the opening level of 25,652.95 to 25,463.25, alongside 12 declining stocks, puts the focus on participation as much as on the headline percentage change.<\/p>\n<p>The comparison with other indices adds perspective. Nifty IT\u2019s 2.41% gain was the session\u2019s standout move, whereas Nifty Auto was among the weakest. The gap highlights differing sector-level performance during the opening session without assigning a cause to that divergence.<\/p>\n<p>Within auto stocks, the contrast between Tube Investments of India, Bharat Forge and Eicher Motors on the downside and Hero MotoCorp, Tata Motors and Samvardhana Motherson International on the upside is important. Monitoring whether this split narrows can offer a cleaner view of participation later in the session.<\/p>\n<p>For the next session, the specific reading to watch is whether Nifty Auto remains above its day low of 25,448.00 and whether breadth improves from 3 advancers versus 12 decliners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"univest-posted-at\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;margin:20px 0 8px\">Published on 21 October 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_the_Nifty_Auto_level_today\"><\/span>What is the Nifty Auto level today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nifty Auto was at 25,463.25 at 10:00:00 AM IST on 21 October 2026.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_is_Nifty_Auto_down_today\"><\/span>How much is Nifty Auto down today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nifty Auto was lower by 128.00 points, or 0.50%, from its previous close of 25,591.25.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_were_Nifty_Autos_day_high_and_day_low\"><\/span>What were Nifty Auto\u2019s day high and day low?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The day high was 25,743.85 and the day low was 25,448.00.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Nifty_Auto_stock_gained_the_most_today\"><\/span>Which Nifty Auto stock gained the most today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hero MotoCorp was the top gainer, rising 0.32% to Rs. 5,246.50.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Nifty_Auto_stock_fell_the_most_today\"><\/span>Which Nifty Auto stock fell the most today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Tube Investments of India was the top loser, declining 1.28% to Rs. 2,142.20.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_was_Nifty_Auto_market_breadth_today\"><\/span>How was Nifty Auto market breadth today?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Market breadth showed 3 advancing stocks, 12 declining stocks and no unchanged stocks.<\/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.
