SBI edged up slightly ahead of its earnings release.

Adani Enterprises was slightly higher after posing 44 percent net profit growth for the June quarter.

Sun Pharmaceuticals was little changed after its Q1 profit missed Street estimates. Torrent Power rose half a percent after foraying into the electric mobility infrastructure segment.

Eicher Motors added 0.7 percent as it reported a 50 percent year-on-year jump in Q1 net profit.
