Top Gainers & Losers April 23: Nifty down 0.84%, Sensex loses 852 pts; Dr Reddy’s, Cipla rise, Trent drops 4.3%
Top Gainers and Losers Today, Thursday, April 23: The Indian stock market ended sharply lower on Thursday, weighed down by rising geopolitical tensions and high crude oil prices.
Both key indices — the Nifty 50 and the BSE Sensex — slipped for the second straight day. Weakness in IT, auto and financial stocks kept the pressure on throughout the day.
The Nifty 50 dropped 205 points, or 0.84%, to close at 24,173.05 while the SENSEX dropped 852 points, or 1.09%, to close at 77,664.
Even on a weak day for the market, a few stocks managed to hold their ground — and pharma names stood out.
In terms of the positive performers for the day, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories led the gains on the Nifty 50 with its 8.87% rise to ₹1,325. This is because there was consistent buying activity throughout the trading day.
Other stocks that saw an increase in prices included Cipla (+5.72%) and Jio Financial Services (+4.19%).
Of the other stocks which managed to make some gains on their own, Adani Enterprises (+1.78%) and Coal India (+1.52%).
