The stock market opened with a softer tone as Maruti Suzuki’s share price drifted lower after its July–September results. It was one of those sessions where the reaction felt immediate—numbers came out, sentiment shifted, and the stock moved accordingly.
Through the early hours of trading, Maruti Suzuki slipped more than 3%, reflecting how sensitive the market remains to quarterly performance in the auto space.

The decline in Maruti Suzuki share price played out right from the opening bell.
The stock was seen trading at ₹15,676 apiece in the early session.
The reaction was tied directly to the company’s Q2 FY26 numbers, which painted a mixed picture across revenue, profitability, and margins.
Even without any external triggers, the stock market today clearly showed how quickly large-cap auto names can swing when earnings come in slightly off expectations.
