⭐ Auto stocks race ahead 🚘
Auto was among the top Nifty sectoral indices on Tuesday, rising 1.25% ahead of the release of June sales volume data. Stocks like TVS Motor, Ashok Leyland and M&M were up between 1.5 and 3%.

⭐ Sponge iron makers may need to import coal 😥
India's sponge iron producers might soon run out of fuel, as the country prioritises supply of coal to power plants to avoid blackouts. Supply to some iron firms from Coal India is scheduled to end from August. Thus, they may be forced to rely on the more expensive imports. Sponge iron is a key raw material used to manufacture steel.
