Keep a watch on these stocks for Tuesday's trading session:

The company sells three electric products i.e. Nexon EV, Tigor EV, and XPRES-T in the domestic market. On a falling market day like Monday, the stock traded in green and ended 0.21 per cent higher.
Hindustan Aeronautics - The company announced that it has signed a contract with the Nigerian Army for imparting Phase-II flying training on Chetak Helicopter for six officers of Nigerian Army Aviation.
