Nifty, Sensex Extend Gains Ahead Of RIL, HCL Tech Results: Midday Market Wrap
India's benchmark equity indices extended gains through midday on Monday, awaiting second-quarter results from Reliance Industries Ltd. and HCL Technologies Ltd. later in the day.
At 12:14 p.m., the Nifty traded 0.74%, or 185.30 points, higher at 25,149.55, and the Sensex gained 0.81%, or 657.81 points, to trade at 82,039.17.
Shares of HCLTech rose as much as 0.8% to hit a record high of Rs 1,854 apiece, while those of Reliance Industries traded little change after erasing morning gains anticipating second quarter results.
Nifty is trading in a small range with its support at 24,900 and resistance at 25,150, according to Soni Patnaik, equity derivatives analyst at JM Financial.
"A breach on either side can help determine further trend," she said while noting that true short covering will happen only above 25,300 where there are a lot of call writers.
She said that it is also imperative to understand that FIIs have reduced long positions and are increasing net shorts; therefore, the possibility of any rise towards resistance may see a selloff until the 25,300 level is not getting crossed.
Shares of Infosys Ltd., HDFC Bank Ltd., ICICI Bank Ltd., Larsen & Toubro Ltd., and Bharti Airtel Ltd. contributed the most to the gains in Nifty. While those of Nestle India Ltd., Maruti Suzuki Ltd., Bajaj Finance Ltd., Axis Bank Ltd., and Tata Steel Ltd. weighed on the index.
Most sectoral indices were trading higher led by Nifty Realty and Nifty Bank.
Market breadth was skewed in favour of the buyers. As many as 2,081 stocks rose, 1,811 fell, and 164 remained unchanged on the BSE.
Broader indices underperformed, with BSE Midcap trading 0.1% lower and BSE Smallcap trading flat during midday trade on Monday.
Five out of the 20 sectoral indices on the BSE declined while 15 rose. BSE Realty rose the most.
RIL Q2 Preview: Reliance Jio Likely To Post Strong Quarter
Analysts expect Jio to post a strong and steady quarter, on the back of the tariff hikes announced by the company.
Nuvama expects Jio's Ebitda to rise 12% and 6% on an annual and sequential basis, respectively. Growth will be driven by higher average revenue per user, which the brokerage expects will grow 5%. The growth in ARPU is set to offset the 1% quarter-on-quarter moderation in subscriber base, Nuvama forecasts.
Prabhudas Lilladher has a similar view, expecting a 7% sequential uptick in ARPU and a muted rise in subscriber growth at 0.6%.
RIL Q2 Preview: Retail Business To See Steady Growth
The retail segment's profitability should be resilient in the second quarter, according to Prabhudas Lilladher.
Nuvama expects the retail business' Ebitda to grow 7% year-on-year due to the 10% rise in retail area over the same period. Motilal Oswal expects the retail business to grow 10% year-on-year to Rs 5,400 crore.
RIL Q2 Preview: O2C Segment To See Weak Quarter
The company's oil to chemicals segment could see a weak quarter due to the negative trajectory of benchmark Singapore gross refining margins, which fell 62% year-on-year in the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2024. Prabhudas Lilladher Pvt. projects the company's refining throughput at 17 million tonnes per annum.
Both Motilal Oswal and Nuvama expect RIL's O2C Ebitda to fall 26-27% year-on-year to around Rs 14,100 crore.
As per Nuvama, the company's oil and gas Ebitda may rise 4% year-on-year, due to the expected 3% annual production uptick.
It is key to note the O2C and upstream oil and gas segments contributed 53% to Reliance Industries' consolidated Ebitda in fiscal 2024.
Q2 Results Live Updates: Key Factors To Watch For In RIL Earnings
According to Motilal Oswal, some of the key monitorables will be:
Further clarity on the Rs 75,000 crore announcements in the new energy business.

RIL Q2 Preview: Weak O2C Segment To Drag Ebitda
Reliance Industries Ltd.'s consolidated Ebitda is expected to fall sequentially in the second quarter of financial year 2025, as per brokerages.
The segment that is estimated to drag down the company's financials this quarter is its standalone business that engages in the oil to chemicals, and oil and gas business. The company's other major segments—retail and Jio are projected to see healthy growth.
Reliance Industries' consolidated revenues are expected to be muted, with a 2.2% quarter-on-quarter growth, according to consensus estimates of analysts tracked by Bloomberg as of Oct. 11.
