Stock Market Live Updates: Sensex Slips 120 Points, Nifty Holds Near 24,350; BSE, Mazagon Dock, Paytm Among Most Active Stocks

The Indian stock market opened on a cautious note today, with the Sensex falling by 120 points while the Nifty hovered around the 24,350 mark, reflecting mixed investor sentiment across sectors.

Despite the headline indices showing mild weakness, market activity remains vibrant with BSE, Mazagon Dock, and Paytm emerging as the most actively traded stocks. Traders and investors are closely watching these counters amid ongoing market developments.

Nifty 50: Gainers vs Losers

On the Nifty, some key stocks were seen performing well even as the broader market showed signs of consolidation. Tata Motors, Power Grid Corporation, Bajaj Finance, Titan Company, and SBI Life Insurance were among the top gainers, lending support to the index and helping limit the downside.

On the flip side, Sun Pharma, Asian Paints, ITC, IndusInd Bank, and Grasim Industries were among the major losers, dragging the index down and contributing to the day’s volatility.

The contrasting performance of heavyweight stocks reflects sector-specific movements and investor preferences shifting based on recent earnings and macro cues.

Broader Market Outperforms

In contrast to the benchmark indices, BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices were up by 0.5% each, indicating strong participation from retail and mid-sized investors. This outperformance suggests that investor interest continues to remain strong in broader market opportunities, even as the large caps show some signs of cooling off.

The resilience in mid and smallcap stocks highlights investor confidence beyond blue-chip names.

Most Active Stocks: BSE, Mazagon Dock, Paytm

Stocks like BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange), Mazagon Dock, and Paytm saw heightened activity and were among the most traded on the exchanges. These counters attracted significant volumes, signaling interest either due to news flow, technical breakouts, or broader market momentum.

In summary, today’s market action paints a mixed picture. While Sensex and Nifty showed minor losses, midcap and smallcap segments held firm, and certain stocks like Tata Motors and Power Grid remained bright spots. Traders should watch key levels and sectoral trends closely as the market continues to digest recent earnings and global cues.
