NIFTY50 top gainers and losers

Shares of Shriram Finance contributed to the NIFTY50 pack, closing 5.78% higher.

It was followed by Titan Company (4.63%), Grasim Industries (4.15%), UltraTech Cement (4.05%), and Larsen and Toubro (4.04%), which were among the top gainers.

Titan shares rose after international gold prices rose over 4%, supported by a drop in oil prices and a weaker US dollar. Gold had come under heavy selling pressure in the last few trading sessions as rising oil prices and bond yields fueled inflation fears and strengthened the dollar, triggering a broad selloff in precious metals.

According to L&T’s classification, a significant order translates to a project ranging between ₹1,000 and ₹2,500 crore.
