Muhurat Trading 2026 Diwali Session Opening Bell: How Sensex, Nifty is performing on special day; check gainers, losers
BSE moved higher.
· LiveMint Markets, Economic Times Markets, ET Stocks, Business Today Mkts
Indian markets rose during the Diwali Muhurat trading session marking Samvat 2083. The Sensex gained over 400 points and the Nifty 50 climbed above 25,100, while smallcaps outperformed. Tata Steel and Sun Pharma led gainers; M&M and Infosys were among the laggards.
The analysis
Against that, the stock is +2.4% on the day at ₹186.30, and has returned -1.6% over three months. It sits 16% below its 52-week high. The metals & mining sector has moved -8.0% over the same period, so Tata Steel is running 6.4 points ahead of its peers.
For Tata Steel, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the metals & mining peer set alongside it.
Why it matters
- With BSE involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
Market context
- The 3 companies named span 3 sectors, so these are separate company stories rather than one sector-wide move.
- On the day, 3 of 3 are higher: Tata Steel leads at +2.4% and Infosys trails at +1.2%.
- Over three months: Tata Steel -1.6% against Metals & Mining -8.0% (6.4 points ahead); Sun Pharmaceutical -4.7% against Pharma & Healthcare +1.4% (6.1 points behind); Infosys +1.4% against IT -2.7% (4.1 points ahead).
- At least 25% below the 52-week high: Infosys (30%).
