Key gainers and underperformers shape India’s stock action on November 17

Indian stock market activity on November 17 displayed a clear divergence between outperforming and lagging sectors. Eternal, Bharat Electronics, and Trent recorded notable advances driven by consistent institutional interest and favourable sector indicators. In contrast, heavyweight counters such as Infosys, Tata Steel, and ICICI Bank underperformed as investors rotated capital toward defensives and high-visibility earnings plays. Analysts noted that the underlying breadth remained positive despite mixed movements at the stock level, reflecting resilience across mid-cap and select large-cap segments.
