The stock market today told two different stories.
On one side, benchmark indices stayed firm. On the other, heavyweight names like Coal India, TCS, and ONGC share price slipped into the red, dragging sentiment in selective pockets of the Nifty 50.
By the previous close, the Sensex rose 208.17 points (0.25%) to 84,273.92, while the Nifty gained 67.85 points (0.26%) to 25,935.15.
Yet, beneath this calm surface, pressure was visible in key large-cap stocks.
Let’s break it down clearly.
Market Performance: Indices Up, Select Heavyweights Down
While headline numbers looked stable, mid-session trends showed weakness in some index majors.
At around 1:00 pm:
- Coal India share price: ₹421.00 (down 2.31%)
- TCS share price: ₹2,929.30 (down 1.85%)
- ONGC share price: ₹268.20 (down 1.45%)
- ITC shares: ₹317.10 (down 1.34%)
- HCL Tech shares: ₹1,552.40 (down 1.32%)
The broader stock market today remained positive, but these declines placed Coal India, TCS, and ONGC among the top losers on the Nifty 50.
This divergence is important. Index strength does not always reflect strength across sectors.
