Within this mid-cap landscape, individual stocks displayed a range of technical call changes and score adjustments. Godrej Industrie’s evaluation shifted from mildly bearish to mildly bullish, while Astral and Alkem Laboratories moved from bullish to mildly bullish stances. GE Vernova T&D and Prestige Estates also saw their assessments adjusted from mildly bullish to bullish. Schaeffler India experienced a technical call change from Hold to Buy, reflecting a revision in its evaluation.



The sectoral contributors to the mid-cap index’s performance were diverse, with infrastructure and industrial stocks showing relative resilience compared to the broader segment. However, the overall negative breadth suggests that selling pressure was widespread, impacting the index’s ability to sustain gains. This divergence highlights the importance of selective stock analysis within the mid-cap space, where individual company fundamentals and technical factors can significantly influence performance.
