The Indian stock markets are firm through midday on Monday, November 10, with buying across metal and pharma counters lifting sentiment. The Nifty advanced around 140 points to 25,630 levels, while the BSE Sensex rose 470 points to 83,680 levels. Gains in midcap and metal stocks kept the momentum strong, even as select consumer names dragged.

Here are the top movers and shakers at this hour:

Sugar Stocks

Shares of leading sugar manufacturers, including Balrampur Chini Mills, Triveni Engineering and Industries, Dalmia Bharat Sugar, Dhampur Sugar, and Shree Renuka Sugars traded higher, rising between 3-6%, after the Centre announced an export quota for the ongoing sugar season.ss

Food Minister Pralhad Joshi confirmed that the government will permit the export of 1.5 million tonnes (MT) of sugar for the 2025–26 season beginning October. The move was widely welcomed by mill operators who had been pressing for export relief to manage surplus stocks.

Lenskart

Lenskart share price had a soft debut on the exchanges, listing at Rs 395 on the NSE a 1.74% discount to its issue price of Rs 402 per share. On the BSE, the stock opened even weaker at Rs 390, down 2.99% from the IPO price.

Despite Lenskart’s strong retail footprint and brand equity, tepid debut sentiment reflected near-term valuation concerns and cautious institutional appetite amid volatile markets.

However, the share price surged 5% intra-day. 

Trent

Share price of Trent, the Tata Group retail company behind Westside, Zudio, and Star Bazaar, slumped 6.83% to Rs 4,311 after the release of its September quarter results.

The company posted a 16% YoY rise in consolidated revenue to Rs 5,107 crore, with EBITDA up 14% YoY to Rs 575 crore, and PAT growing 11% YoY to Rs 373 crore. While the figures were healthy, profit growth lagged Street expectations, triggering a selloff in the counter.

Trent clarified that its consolidated revenue figures exclude Trent Hypermarket’s topline, which is accounted for under the equity method as per accounting standards. Still, traders noted profit booking after a sharp year-to-date rally in the stock.

FSN E-Commerce Ventures (Nykaa)

Share price of FSN E-Commerce Ventures, the parent company of Nykaa, climbed nearly 7% to Rs 259 after the beauty and lifestyle retailer reported a sharp increase in profit for Q2 FY26. The stock later trimmed gains but held 4.5% higher at Rs 257.

Nykaa snapped a two-day losing streak and traded at nearly 10 times its average 30-day volume, according to Bloomberg data. With the stock up 56% year-to-date, Nykaa’s market capitalisation now stands at Rs 73,543 crore.

The strong Q2 performance reaffirmed recovery in its beauty and fashion segments, though margins remain under watch amid rising competition from newer online platforms.

National Aluminium Company (NALCO)

NALCO share price surged 8.59% to hit an intraday high of Rs 254.90 on the NSE, emerging as the top gainer in the Nifty Midcap 100. On the BSE, the stock climbed 8.7% to Rs 254.85, buoyed by strong quarterly results released late Friday.

The surge came with a spike in trading volumes over 3.05 crore shares traded on the NSE, compared to an average of 86.78 lakh, while 16.24 lakh shares exchanged hands on the BSE versus the usual 3.6 lakh two-week average.

Torrent Pharmaceuticals

Torrent Pharmaceuticals share price rallied 6% to Rs 3,809.15, hitting a record high, after the drugmaker reported robust second-quarter earnings. The stock surpassed its previous peak of Rs 3,790 set on July 30, 2025.

In the past six months, Torrent Pharma has advanced 17%, outperforming both the BSE Sensex, up 1.4% and the BSE Healthcare Index, up 6.7%.
