Stocks in News Today (Oct 12, 2026): Apollo, ITC, Reliance, Dr Reddy’s and IPOs

Here are the stocks in news today, Monday 12 October 2026, that traders will be watching going into Tuesday. The Nifty 50 ended 0.70% lower at 22,363.35, but the damage came from a handful of heavyweights while smallcaps actually rose, ET Now reported.

Stocks in news today: the big movers

• Apollo Hospitals (-3.15%) and Max Healthcare (-2.02%): hospital names got hit late in the day after a Supreme Court hearing on drug pricing put mark-ups under the lens, and the BSE Hospitals index lost 2.04%. Our hospital stocks report has the details.
• ITC (-3.05%): it led a wide FMCG sell-off, and Nifty FMCG finished as the day’s weakest sector.
• Tech Mahindra (-2.85%): the worst IT performer on the Nifty.
• Reliance Industries: it hit a 52-week low of about ₹1,155 and was one of the main drags on the index. Our Reliance share price report covers it.
• Dr Reddy’s (+2.71%) and Bajaj Auto (+2.62%): the top Nifty gainers, with Tata Motors PV, Bharat Electronics and BSE Ltd not far behind, according to Upstox.

Banks are watching the CRR rule

Bank stocks stayed weak. The RBI has said banks must hold at least 99% of their required cash reserve every single day from 16 October, against 90% now. The Nifty Bank shed 339 points to 54,918, CNBC-TV18 reported, and ICICI Bank was one of the bigger contributors to the Nifty’s fall. Our CRR rule explainer walks through what changes.

IPOs opening this week

• Bonfiglioli Transmissions: a ₹2,533.66 crore offer for sale priced at ₹558–586, open 15–19 October. Our full review is up.
• Tonbo Imaging: an ₹852 crore offer for sale at ₹665–700, running on the same dates. Read our review.

Results and earnings

Q2 earnings season gets busier this week. HCLTech is already out (our HCLTech Q2 results coverage has the numbers), and more big IT and banking names report over the next few days.

On days like this, the stock-specific news matters more than the index number. A 0.7% Nifty fall hid 3% moves on both sides of the board.

More stocks in news: midcaps and smallcaps

Plenty happened further down the market cap ladder. Avenue Supermarts (DMart) dropped more than 4% as its second-quarter margins came under pressure. Lenskart slipped more than 4% after a large trade, with Alpha Wave the likely seller. Angel One gained more than 5% ahead of SEBI’s paper on the closing auction session, and Goodluck India shot up more than 14% after proposing a restructuring, CNBC-TV18 reported.

In the Nifty Midcap 100, the leaders were UPL (+5.40%), Suzlon Energy, PB Fintech (+3.46%), Paytm (+3.30%) and LIC Housing Finance (+2.96%). Over in the Nifty Smallcap 100, Gallantt Ispat surged 20%, and Syngene International (+7.66%), Tata Chemicals (+7.43%), Welspun Corp (+6.35%) and Nuvama Wealth Management (+6.27%) rallied too, according to Upstox.

Oil-sensitive stocks got attention as Brent climbed to about $106 a barrel. IndiGo and Asian Paints each lost nearly 1%.

What to watch on Tuesday

We’d keep an eye on three things: the rupee, which closed 93 paise stronger at 95.78 (provisional), Brent crude near $105.8, and foreign fund flows. Everything gets tracked on our Stock Market Today India hub.
