Top stock market recommendations: According to Aakash K Hindocha, Deputy Vice President – WM Research, Nuvama Professional Clients Group, Balkrishna Industries, Sona BLW Precision Forgings, and Hindalco are the top buy calls for today. Here’s his view on Nifty, Bank Nifty and the top stock picks for July 24, 2025:Index View: NiftyNifty has entered a consolidation zone once again, though broader trend indicates upside from current levels, but absence of tailwinds are keeping the index in range. We continue with our view on a broad consolidation between 24800 and 25320 for the balance of this week, given the chart structure and positioning based on derivative data. Given the tailwind from Nifty IT, this could allow positive rub off on the index as well allowing it to breakout above 25320 for a sustained up move.Bank NiftyAfter reclaiming its resistance of 56750 in Monday’s session, the index has furthered its ongoing breakout above 57100 to allow momentum on the long side on Bank Nifty. Outperformance against Nifty which has been powering the underlying current on this index, is set to continue. On the flip side, closing below 56700 could allow downward pressure on the index. Targets are open for new all time highs on the index.BALKRISIND (BUY):
- LCP: 2740.40
- Stop Loss: 2680
- Target: 3030
Balkrishna Industries stock has given a cup and handle breakout on daily chart at the start of this week.

After hitting a 3.5 year low at the start of this fiscal, Sona BLW Precision Forgings has found buyers to scale it up towards the 540-550 odd zone. Rally and retests have allowed a bullish pole and flag pattern breakout on charts. Adding to this a 2 month old sloping trendline breakout has also been confirmed in Wednesday’s closing. All of this allows for the ongoing rally to continue to a retest of its 200 DMA resistance at 545+.HINDALCO (BUY):
