Nifty 50 Gainers and Losers, July 24, 2026, 4:00 PM IST: HCL Technologies, Cipla, Wipro Among Gainers; Eternal, Mahindra & Mahindra, Bajaj Finance Among Laggards

Mumbai, July 24: Indian benchmark indices witnessed another stock-specific trading session on Friday, July 24, 2026, with buying interest emerging in information technology, healthcare and banking stocks, while selling pressure persisted in select auto, financial and metals counters. By 4:00 PM IST, HCL Technologies, Cipla and Wipro emerged among the top gainers on the Nifty 50, whereas Eternal, Mahindra & Mahindra and Bajaj Finance featured among the biggest laggards.

• Cipla and Wipro also recorded healthy gains during Friday’s session.

• Eternal declined 2.47%, emerging as the biggest loser of the day.

• Mahindra & Mahindra and Bajaj Finance also witnessed significant selling pressure.

• Buying remained focused on IT and healthcare stocks, while financial, auto and metal shares faced profit booking.

Where Did Investors Focus?

Buying interest was largely concentrated in technology and healthcare stocks. HCL Technologies led the gainers with a nearly 2% rise, while Cipla, Wipro, ITC and HDFC Life Insurance also attracted steady investor interest. Financial heavyweights including Axis Bank, ICICI Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank managed to close in positive territory, lending support to the benchmark.

Selling pressure, however, remained visible in select auto, financial and commodity stocks. Eternal recorded the steepest decline, followed by Mahindra & Mahindra, Bajaj Finance and Shriram Finance. Weakness also extended to Bajaj Auto, ONGC, Hindalco, Dr Reddy’s Laboratories and Asian Paints, reflecting profit booking after recent gains.

Why Gainers and Losers Matter

The daily list of Nifty 50 gainers and losers provides investors with a quick snapshot of changing market sentiment. Stocks appearing among the top gainers generally benefit from positive earnings expectations, institutional buying or favourable company-specific developments, while the biggest losers often reflect profit booking or weaker investor confidence. Tracking these daily movers helps investors identify sectoral leadership and understand where market momentum is shifting.

Conclusion

By 4:00 PM IST on Friday, July 24, 2026, the Nifty 50 continued to witness selective buying rather than broad-based market participation. HCL Technologies, Cipla and Wipro emerged as the day’s standout performers, while Eternal, Mahindra & Mahindra and Bajaj Finance remained under pressure. With the earnings season progressing and investors closely monitoring company-specific developments, the daily list of gainers and losers continues to offer valuable insights into evolving market trends and sectoral leadership.
