Sudden Fall in Inox Wind
In today's session, Inox Wind shares showed a sharp decline in the final hour. The share dropped by 7 percent. No specific reason for the fall was identified, but market experts are linking it to profit booking.

Although the company presented better-than-expected results, the share closed below its intraday high. After initial enthusiasm, a decline was recorded due to profit booking.
Tata Technologies Shows Strength
Tata Technologies shares showed strength today due to positive commentary. Although the company's results were somewhat weak, expectations for the future maintained investor confidence, and the share closed in the green.
Confidence Returns to the Market
Overall, Tuesday's session was a relief for investors. Today's session showed enthusiasm in the market, which had been falling for the past four sessions. Buying in the auto, pharma, and banking sectors supported the market, while the rise in mid-cap and small-cap shares highlighted the strength of the broader market.
