Among the top gaining sectors, the S&P Industrials led the way with a notable performance, driven by strong contributions from stocks like Nelcast, which surged significantly. The S&P BSE Commodities sector also showed resilience, buoyed by Foseco India's impressive gains. Meanwhile, the BSE Capital Goods sector benefited from a positive uptick, with Suzlon Energy contributing to its overall strength.

Conversely, the market faced challenges in the Realty sector, which experienced a decline, with Oberoi Realty being one of the key stocks pulling the sector down. The Nifty Auto and Bankex sectors also faced headwinds, with notable declines from M & M and IndusInd Bank, respectively.

As market dynamics continue to evolve, investors are closely monitoring these sector performances and the underlying stocks, including Nelcast, as they navigate the current financial landscape.
