Sector-wise Performance
The market showed a strong positive performance, with several sectors leading the charge and a significant reversal from the previous day's trends.
Top Performing Sectors
- NIFTY AUTO (+2.80%): The auto sector was the top gainer, with strong performance driven by stocks like Bajaj Auto, M&M, and Hero Motocorp. The positive sentiment was fueled by better-than-expected August sales data from key automakers.
- NIFTY CONSUMER DURABLES (+2.08%): This sector also saw a significant rally, reversing its losses from the previous trading session.
- NIFTY IT (+1.59%): The IT sector continued its positive momentum, albeit with stronger gains today, indicating continued investor confidence.
- NIFTY REALTY (+1.04%): After being the worst performer on August 26, the realty sector staged a strong comeback, suggesting a renewed interest in capital-intensive sectors.
- NIFTY PSU BANK (+1.11%): PSU banks also rebounded, showing positive movement in the financial space.
Top Losing Sectors
- NIFTY FMCG (+0.06%): In contrast to the previous day's significant gains, the FMCG sector was the worst performer today, with marginal positive growth. This indicates a reversal of the "flight to safety" sentiment.
- NIFTY PHARMA (-0.12%): The pharmaceutical sector continued its downward trend, with notable losses. This was likely due to profit booking and stock-specific news, as seen with Sun Pharma.
- NIFTY MEDIA (-0.32%): The media sector also continued its negative trend from the previous session.
The market's turnaround was a result of a few key factors:
- Positive Domestic Cues: The better-than-expected Q1 FY2026 GDP growth data provided a significant boost to market sentiment.
- Institutional Buying: DIIs were net buyers, providing crucial support. There was also a notable increase in FII inflows, contributing to the rally.
- Corporate News: Several company-specific announcements, such as Tata Motors' strong August sales figures and new investment plans from Ashok Leyland, positively influenced stock performance.
- Global Cues: Weakness in Asian markets did not seem to deter the Indian market's upward momentum, as domestic factors took precedence.
The institutional activity on Monday, September 1, 2025, showed a significant shift in trend.
- FIIs (Foreign Institutional Investors): The previous trend of FII selling appeared to have slowed, with reports of FIIs turning into net buyers.
- DIIs (Domestic Institutional Investors): DIIs continued to be net buyers, providing sustained support to the market.

Top Gainers on September 1, 2025
Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M)
- Closing Price: ₹3,290.00
- Change: +₹91.85 (+2.87%)
- Analysis: M&M was a top gainer on a day when the market saw broad-based buying. The stock's positive performance, along with other auto sector stocks, was likely driven by strong August auto sales data and a bullish sentiment in the sector.
Bajaj Auto
- Closing Price: ₹8,967.00
- Change: +₹335.50 (+3.89%)
- Analysis: The shares of Bajaj Auto surged, making it one of the top performers. This rally was fueled by robust August sales data, which showed significant growth in two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments, especially in exports. The strong sales figures have bolstered investor confidence in the company's growth prospects.
Trent
- Closing Price: ₹5,450.00
- Change: +₹157.00 (+2.87%)
- Analysis: Trent continued its positive momentum, with the stock closing as a top gainer. Its performance indicates sustained investor interest in the retail and consumer durables sector, which is seen as a key beneficiary of domestic consumption and economic recovery.
Infosys
- Closing Price: ₹1,500.05
- Change: +₹30.60 (+2.08%)
- Analysis: Infosys saw a significant rebound, with the IT sector performing well after facing pressure in the previous week. This gain was likely driven by a US court ruling that was seen as a positive development for the Indian IT industry, which is heavily dependent on the US market.
Asian Paints
- Closing Price: ₹2,569.20
- Change: +₹51.80 (+2.06%)
- Analysis: Asian Paints' stock closed with strong gains, reflecting a positive outlook on the consumer durables and housing sectors. The company's performance suggests that investor confidence in domestic demand remains high, despite broader market volatility.
Top Losers on September 1, 2025
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries
- Closing Price: ₹1,561.20
- Change: -₹32.85 (-2.06%)
- Analysis: Sun Pharma was the biggest loser of the day, with its stock slipping in an otherwise firm market. The stock has been under pressure and is trading near its 52-week low. The decline was likely due to a broader weakness in the pharma sector and profit-booking.
ITC
- Closing Price: ₹405.95
- Change: -₹3.80 (-0.93%)
- Analysis: ITC closed in the red, making it one of the top losers despite a positive market trend. The stock's decline was part of a broader weakness in the FMCG sector, with some investors shifting from defensive stocks to cyclical ones as market sentiment turned positive.
Hindustan Unilever (HUL)
- Closing Price: ₹2,652.00
- Change: -₹7.00 (-0.26%)
- Analysis: HUL's stock saw a slight decline. Similar to ITC, the weakness in HUL suggests that investors were moving away from defensive FMCG stocks in favor of more growth-oriented sectors like auto and IT, which were leading the day's rally.
Titan Company
- Closing Price: ₹3,616.10
- Change: -₹12.45 (-0.34%)
- Analysis: Titan's stock closed marginally lower. The decline can be attributed to a general market-wide sell-off in a few pockets, as well as some profit-booking after recent gains. The stock's performance was also influenced by the weak sentiment in the gems and jewellery sector.
Reliance Industries (RIL)
- Closing Price: ₹1,356.60
- Change: -₹0.60 (-0.04%)
- Analysis: RIL's stock closed in the red for the day. Despite a major announcement regarding a future IPO, the stock's performance suggests a "sell the news" reaction from investors, who had already priced in the expected development.
The Indian stock market on Monday, September 1, 2025, showed a strong recovery, with both Sensex and Nifty closing higher. The rally was broad-based, with auto, IT, and financial stocks leading the charge. The positive domestic GDP data and sustained institutional buying were key drivers. The market sentiment appears to have shifted from the previous week's concerns over US tariffs, suggesting a focus on domestic fundamentals. The market is likely to remain dynamic as investors assess new economic data and corporate developments.
