Mumbai – Indian equity markets ended in negative territory today, as benchmark indices faced selling pressure throughout the trading session.
The downward trend was widespread, with significant losses seen across several key sectors, particularly in realty and automobiles.
The country’s main indices, the NIFTY 50 and the BSE SENSEX, both closed lower. The NIFTY 50 index fell by 112.60 points to close at 25,056.90, marking a 0.45% decline.
Similarly, the BSE SENSEX dropped by 386.47 points, or 0.47%, to settle at 81,715.63.
The negative sentiment was not limited to the headline indices; broader market indicators such as the NIFTY 100, NIFTY 200, and NIFTY 500 also registered losses, indicating a comprehensive market downturn.
A deeper look into sectoral performance reveals where the pressure was most intense. The NIFTY REALTY index was the day’s worst performer, plummeting by a substantial 2.49%.
The automotive sector also had a difficult day, with the NIFTY AUTO index declining by 1.15%. Other notable sectors that faced headwinds included IT and Telecom, with the NIFTY MIDSMALL IT & TELECOM index falling by 1.16%.
Financial services stocks also felt the strain, as indices tracking both banking and non-banking financial companies ended the day in the red.
On the company front, several blue-chip stocks dragged the market down. Tata Motors was among the top losers on the SENSEX, with its share price falling by 2.67%.
Other major decliners included BEL, which dropped 2.24%, and UltraTech Cement, which saw its value decrease by 1.52%. TechM, M&M, and Axis Bank also featured prominently on the list of stocks that lost ground.
Despite the prevailing bearish mood, a few companies managed to buck the trend and close with gains.
PowerGrid emerged as the top gainer on the SENSEX, with its stock rising by 1.63%. It was followed by NTPC and Hindustan Unilever, which also ended the day in positive territory, providing a small glimmer of resilience in an otherwise challenging market session.
