Mumbai, September 25, 2025: Indian equities extended their losing streak to a fifth consecutive session on Wednesday, weighed down by broad-based selling across sectors barring metals. Persistent foreign outflows, weakness in global markets, and investor caution ahead of key macro data kept sentiment subdued.
At the close, the Sensex fell 555.95 points, or 0.68%, to 81,159.68, while the Nifty lost 166.05 points, or 0.66%, to 24,890.85. Market breadth remained weak, with 1,405 shares advancing, 2,586 declining, and 125 unchanged on the BSE.
Among Nifty constituents, Tata Motors, Trent, Shriram Finance, TCS, and Power Grid were the top losers, while Bharat Electronics, Hindalco, Axis Bank, ONGC, and Hero MotoCorp managed to end in the green.
On the sectoral front, metals (+0.22%) was the only index to close higher. Consumer durables, auto, power, IT, and realty slipped around 1% each. The BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices also declined 0.7% apiece, reflecting the broader market weakness.
Markets remain under pressure as global uncertainty, FII selling, and weakness in heavyweights continue to weigh on sentiment. The Nifty’s break below 24,900 signals a fragile near-term trend, with 24,800 now acting as the immediate support. Unless the index reclaims 25,200 decisively, volatility may persist with a downward bias
