Nifty 50 and other Indian equity benchmarks ended the trading day on August 6, 2025, with substantial losses, as cautious investor sentiment persisted ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) monetary policy statement and ongoing foreign fund outflows. The index reversed early gains to close in negative territory, reflecting broader market weakness.
The Sensex saw a decline of 166 points, settling at 80,543.99, while the Nifty 50 fell by 75 points, closing at 24,574.20, thereby slipping below the crucial 24,600 mark.
This downturn was largely influenced by the RBI‘s decision to maintain the repo rate at a steady 5.5%, indicating a “wait-and-watch” approach amidst prevailing global trade tensions and inflationary risks.
Key Laggards and Market Movers
The market witnessed several prominent stocks contribute to the day’s losses.Reliance, Infosys, Adani Ports, and ICICI Bank were among the top laggards. Conversely, a few stocks managed to register modest gains, with Kotak Bank and HUL notable among them.
