Final Trade: Sensex sheds 375 points, Nifty ends at 25,111 as IT, bank stocks slide

Indian stock markets closed lower on Thursday, weighed down by weak Q1 earnings sentiment and global trade uncertainties following comments from former US President Donald Trump on the India-US trade deal. Volatility was also high due to the weekly F&O expiry of the Nifty50.
The BSE Sensex ended the session at 82,259.24, down 375.24 points or 0.45 per cent, while the NSE Nifty50 closed at 25,111.45, losing 100.6 points or 0.45 per cent.
Top Nifty and Sensex gainers included Trent, SBI, M&M, Tata Motors, Sun Pharma, NTPC, and Titan. On the losing side, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, L&T, Bajaj Finance, ICICI Bank, and Zomato (Eternal) dragged the indices lower.
In the broader markets, the BSE Midcap index edged up 0.07 per cent, while the BSE Smallcap index outperformed with a 0.3 per cent gain, reflecting selective buying in mid and small-cap stocks.
Among sectoral indices, Nifty IT, Nifty Bank, and Nifty PSU Bank declined by 1.49 per cent, 0.59 per cent, 0.79 per cent respectively. Meanwhile, Nifty Pharma gained 0.38 per cent, and Nifty Realty rose 1.24 per cent, showing resilience amid broader market weakness.
Market analysts expect continued volatility in the near term as Q1 FY26 earnings roll in and global macroeconomic cues evolve.
