Auto, FMCG, and realty stocks in focus amid mixed sector signals
Markets opened flat as investors await global and domestic cues
Major updates from Tata Motors, Titan, and Lodha to guide sentiment

Indian stock markets opened on a quiet note on October 8, following a cautious close the previous day. Global signals remain uneven, and investors are closely tracking updates across key sectors like auto, FMCG, real estate, metals, and logistics.

On October 7, Indian indices ended in the green, the Sensex rose by 136.63 points to close at 81,926.75, while the Nifty gained 30.65 points to settle at 25,108.30.

Here are seven stocks likely to move today:

Tata Motors: Its subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover reported a steep fall in Q2 FY26 sales. Retail dropped 17.1%, and wholesale declined 24.2%, largely due to cyberattacks that halted UK operations for nearly six weeks. Sales in July had already dipped due to shipment delays to the US.

Titan: The Company posted 18% growth in domestic sales and 19% in jewellery for Q2. However, growth has slowed from last year’s 25% rise, mainly due to high gold prices dampening premium jewellery demand.

Godrej Consumer Products: It expects mid-single-digit revenue growth in Q2. About one-third of its products now attract only 5% GST, down from 18%, following tax reforms, likely reducing costs for consumers.

Lodha Developers: Despite fewer new launches, Lodha clocked Rs 4,570 crore in pre-sales (up 7%) and Rs 3,480 crore in collections (up 13%). Bigger launches are planned for H2 to hit the Rs 2.1 lakh crore target.

CONCOR: It has partnered with UltraTech Cement to transport bulk cement via rail tank containers, aiming to lower emissions and ease logistics costs.

Anant Raj: The company’s board approved a Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) at Rs 695.83/share to raise funds from institutional investors.

Lloyds Metals: CCI has cleared its plan to acquire 49.99% in Thriveni Pellets, strengthening its metals and energy portfolio.
