Tata Steel, Sun Pharma, BSE and UltraTech Cement were among the Nifty 50 constituents trading higher during the special one-hour Muhurat Trading session on Sunday. Both the Nifty 50 and Sensex remained volatile, opening the session in negative territory before quickly erasing their losses and moving into the green.
Nevertheless, volatility remained elevated as both benchmark indices headed into the special trading session following a seven-day winning streak, with investors booking profits at higher levels while tracking stock-specific movements and broader market cues.
As of 2:45 PM, Nifty is trading with a gain of 0.14% at 25,064, while the Sensex is up by 0.36% at 81,317.
Tata Steel was the top performer in the pack, surging 2.5% to ₹191 apiece, as investors appeared encouraged by the company's Q2 performance. The Tata Group firm on Saturday reported a more than 16% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to ₹3,700 crore for the September quarter, driven by higher revenues, primarily from its India operations.
The company produced 8.07 million tonnes (MT) of steel and sold 7.92 MT in Q2 FY27, compared with production of 7.73 MT and deliveries of 7.91 MT in the July-September quarter a year ago.
