Track performance across Indian market sectors. Real-time prices and movements for Banking, IT, Pharma, Auto, FMCG, and more.
A sector index groups companies from one industry. Banks sit together, software exporters sit together, and so on, which lets you see how a single part of the market is doing without the rest of it blurring the picture.
An index can close flat while enormous movement happens underneath it. Nifty 50 could end the day unchanged because banks fell exactly as much as IT rose. Reading only the index level tells you nothing about that. Sector performance shows where money is actually going, which is what most active investors are trying to work out.
Look at the size of the move, and check whether it is broad or narrow. A sector up two percent because one heavyweight jumped is a weaker signal than a sector up two percent with most of its constituents participating. Interest rate expectations also hit sectors unevenly: banks, real estate and autos tend to be sensitive to rate changes, while exporters are more sensitive to the rupee.
Open a sector to see the stocks inside it, or start from the full stock list. Top gainers and losers shows the sharpest individual moves, and the guides hub covers how markets work if you are starting out.
