Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: Nifty attempts recovery, remains over 230 points lower

Published on 30/03/2026 12:06 PM

Following actions taken by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to reduce speculative positions, the rupee showed slight strength versus the US dollar, although gold and silver prices in India fell in early trade on March 30, mirroring weakness in global markets.

Except for the COVID-affected year, the Nifty is expected to finish FY26 down more than 5%, ending a two-year winning streak and its worst performance in ten years. Although the headline decline points to a poor year, the underlying trend is far more erratic.

 

The legal dispute over one of India’s most prominent insolvency cases has escalated as mining giant Vedanta Ltd. has petitioned the Supreme Court of India to halt the execution of Adani Group’s resolution plan for Jaiprakash Associates Ltd.

 

The Nifty index is down over 350 points, and these are the biggest volume-based movers.

Vice-chairman and CEO of DSP Finance Jayesh Mehta anticipates that as the onshore-offshore arbitrage narrows, the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) intervention would become more effective, assisting the rupee in stabilising despite continuous outflows.

The Nifty index is now down over 350 points, falling below Monday’s low of 22,471.
