Sensex, Nifty fall again, investors lose ₹4 lakh crore in 5 days

The stock market kept falling for the fifth day in a row on Monday, causing a big loss of ₹4 lakh crore for investors. Sensex went down by 868 points and ended at 74,442, while Nifty dropped by 249 points and closed at 22,547. Since the start of 2025, Sensex has lost 5.19%, and Nifty has fallen by 5.06%.

Many reasons have led to this market fall. Weak global markets, poor company earnings, and worries about US President Donald Trump’s trade policies have made investors nervous. Also, foreign investors have been selling Indian stocks, making the situation worse.

Several big companies saw their share prices go down, including HCL Technologies, Infosys, Zomato, TCS, Tata Steel, and Bharti Airtel, which lost up to 4%. Meanwhile, M&M, ITC, Kotak Bank, and Nestle India were the only ones that gained slightly, with a rise of up to 1.44%. All 13 sectors on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) were in loss, showing that the market fall affected all industries. While 50 stocks hit their highest value in a year, 261 stocks reached their lowest.

Stock market expert V K Vijayakumar said that foreign investors are pulling out money from India and investing in China, which looks more profitable to them right now. He also said that inflation in the US is rising, and because of this, the US Federal Reserve may not reduce interest rates. This can create more pressure on the market.

The stock market was mostly negative, with 4,127 companies trading on the BSE. Out of these, only 1,133 stocks increased in value, while 2,807 stocks went down, and 187 stocks remained the same. A total of 341 stocks hit their lower circuit, meaning their prices dropped to the lowest allowed limit for the day, while 193 stocks reached their highest allowed limit. The BSE Midcap Index fell by 370 points to 40,003, and the BSE Smallcap Index dropped by 489 points to 45,366. This means even smaller companies are struggling.

Foreign investors took out ₹3,449 crore from the market on Friday, while domestic investors tried to balance this by buying ₹2,884 crore worth of stocks.

Market experts believe that this uncertainty might continue for some more days. Investors are closely watching global markets, foreign investments, and company performance reports to understand what will happen next.
