Sectorally, Nifty Realty, Nifty Auto, and Nifty Oil and Gas emerged as the strongest performers, driven by sustained demand and sector-specific optimism. In contrast, Nifty IT and Nifty Media were the top laggards, dragging slightly on overall market breadth due to profit booking and weak sentiment in technology and media counters.
Overall, market breadth remained positive, though gains were led primarily by select sectors and heavyweight stocks.
