Top stocks to watch today: Reason why these shares are in focus for Thursday's trading session | Full list

Indian stock market investors are likely to track several companies on Thursday, September 3, following key developments and announcements.

RBL Bank, Power Grid Corporation of India, Paisalo Digital, NHPC, ICICI Bank, India Cements, and Meesho are among the stocks likely to remain in focus.

The Indian stock market remained under pressure for a third consecutive session on Wednesday, September 2, with the benchmark indices breaking below key levels as renewed fighting in the Middle East pushed oil prices higher, stoking inflation concerns and expectations of tighter monetary policy.

The Nifty 50 closed 0.59% lower at 23,914. The index had earlier plunged to an intraday low of 23,786 before late-session buying helped it recover a large part of its losses.

The Sensex ended 0.62% lower at 76,469 after falling to a one-month low during intraday trade. The selling pressure extended to the broader market, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 declining 0.53% and 0.37%, respectively.
