On the other hand, the top gainers included Tata Consumer Products, which closed 6.78% higher, a day after the firm reported a positive quarter led by volume growth in domestic business, improved margins, price increases, and effective input cost management.

The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) company posted a 16% year-on-year (YoY) rise in its consolidated net profits while margins remained under pressure with muted growth. Its consolidated net profit (attributable to owners) surged 16% YoY to ₹469 crore in the July to September quarter of FY27, compared to ₹404 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.

The other top gainers were Bharti Airtel (3.20%), Bajaj Auto (3.17%), BSE (2.44%), and Trent Ltd (2.42%).

Shares of Bharti Airtel surged as the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) published the telecom subscription data for September. Bharti Airtel led subscriber growth during the month, along with Reliance Jio, adding 26.92 lakh users, as against 21.10 lakh added in the preceding month.

NSE’s NIFTY Midcap 100 gauge advanced by 1% or 564.50 points to close at 57,029.90 on October 27.

The index was supported by buying in Mankind Pharma, which ended 8.24% higher, as equity market investors focused on the pharmaceutical manufacturer’s healthy revenue gains and strong margin growth in the period under review.
