On the sectoral front, in the pre-opening session, metals jumped by 1.13 per cent, power zoomed by 0.11 per cent, and auto surged by 0.46 per cent.

Meanwhile, Westlife Foodworld Ltd, Shripiston Engineering Ltd and Eris Lifesciences Ltd emerged as the Top Gainers of BSE in the pre-opening session today.

Westlife Foodworld Ltd, an S&P BSE Group A company, surged 6.92 per cent to trade at Rs 510 apiece. Westlife Foodworld Ltd reported sustained profitability in Q3 FY26 despite a challenging operating environment, supported by improving guest counts and tighter cost control. The McDonald’s franchisee for West and South India posted revenue of Rs 6.71 billion, while margins improved across the board, with restaurant operating margins up around 150 bps YoY and operating EBITDA at Rs 987 million. The company benefited from supply chain efficiencies, strong traction in value meals, rising digital sales (74 per cent of total), and steady expansion, adding 10 restaurants during the quarter to take its network to 458 outlets across 73 cities, even as same-store sales growth remained slightly negative at -3.2 per cent.

Shriram Pistons & Rings Ltd, an S&P BSE Group A company, climbed 6.14 per cent to trade at Rs 3,299.95 apiece. The company has not made any significant announcements of late. Hence, the rally in the share price could be driven purely by the market forces. 

Eris Lifesciences Ltd, an S&P BSE Group A company, gained 4.85 per cent to trade at Rs 1,496.45 apiece. The company has not made any significant announcements of late. Hence, the rally in the share price could be driven purely by the market forces.
