Auto Sector Faces Pressure; Nifty Auto Index Slides on Weak Sentiment

The Nifty Auto index declined on November 4, 2025

declined 4 out of last 5 trading session, mainly due to broad-based profit booking and weakness in heavyweight auto stocks. Key players like Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, Maruti Suzuki, and Eicher Motors saw notable share price drops, pressuring the index. The overall market sentiment was cautious amid persistent foreign investor selling and a pullback after recent gains. Additionally, economic data releases and Q2 earnings reports contributed to the cautious mood. The decline of 0.72% in Nifty Auto reflected short-term profit booking and sector rotation rather than fundamental weakness, with investors awaiting fresh triggers for direction.
