Maruti Suzuki, Reliance Industries, Bharti Airtel and others: 17 NIFTY50 stocks that are near their 52-week lows; check full list

The Indian stock market retreated from its 2026 lows and was trading in green on Friday, October 9, as crude prices eased and IT stocks rallied after TCS reported a healthy quarter.

Although the buying sentiment was positive, investors remained cautious as foreign institutional investors (FIIs) maintained their selling pressure, offloading ₹12,943 crore worth of capital market assets across the stock exchanges on October 8.

Data showed that the US 10-year benchmark Treasury yields eased marginally to 5.22%, away from their multi-year high levels, resulting in a positive cue for equity investors amid the global uncertainty.

Global crude oil prices also retracted from their highs of $105 per barrel (bbl) to trade around $103 per bbl during Friday’s morning market hours. This week, the sharp spike in oil prices was due to the latest tanker attack off the northern coast of Qatar and fears of a second supply chain disruption in the region.

The broader market was also trading positive, with both the NIFTY Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 rising over 1% on Friday.

On a year-on-year basis, the NIFTY50 index has, however, declined 10.5%, while NIFTY Midcap 100 and NIFTY Smallcap 100 have gained 0.6% and 6.6%, respectively. On October 8, the 50-share index had also hit its 52-week low of 22,179.90. 

According to Trendlyne data, as many as 17 stocks are trading within 5% of their respective 52-week lows.

Maruti Suzuki

Maruti Suzuki, which was once a leading automaker with a market share of above 50%, has seen a sharp drop in its market share to 39.2% in FY26, hitting a 13-year low as consumer preference shifted rapidly to SUVs and utility vehicles, where Maruti’s market share has remained lower despite new model rollouts like the Victoris.

HUL

The FMCG major reported a 3% decline in its consolidated net profit to ₹2,673 crore for the quarter ended June 30 of fiscal year 2026-27 (Q1 FY27), following a one-off tax credit during the quarter. It has seen a net profit of ₹2,756 crore in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

During the Q1 FY27 earnings announcement, the FMCG major had said that their focus remains on driving competitive, volume-led revenue growth. On the margin front, HUL had highlighted that commodity volatility continues, with inflationary pressures expected to persist in the near term. The company indicated that its consolidated EBITDA margin is likely to remain around the current guided range.

HDFC Bank

India’s largest private sector lender has been on investors’ radar after foreign institutional investors reduced their stakeholding by 2.43% in the July to September quarter of FY27.

The latest shareholder pattern data as of the quarter ended September 2026 showed that the 2.43% stake, which was sold by the foreign investors, was largely picked up by the domestic institutional investors along with other public shareholders.

Also, the Reserve Bank of India has approved Anup Bagchi’s appointment as MD & CEO for three years from October 27, 2026.

Reliance Industries

The proposed IPO of Reliance Industries’ telecom and digital arm, Jio Platforms, is a key catalyst for RIL shares.

The listing could provide an independent market valuation for Jio, giving investors greater clarity on the value of RIL’s stake in the business.

If Jio commands a strong valuation, investors may see RIL’s current market value as not fully reflecting the value of its underlying businesses, potentially narrowing the valuation discount and supporting the RIL stock.

Reports suggest that the IPO could be launched later this month and may raise around $3.8 billion.
