MUMBAI – Benchmark indices fell for the second consecutive session Tuesday due to weakness in shares of financial services providers and metal manufacturers. Analysts said investors also sold shares to book profits amid September quarter earnings announcements. However, other Asian indices fell more due to tensions between the US and China over tariffs.

 

"Muted start to the ongoing Q2 (Jul-Sept) results and weaker-than-expected inflation data raised concerns about slow demand, intensifying profit booking," Vinod Nair, head of research at Geojit Investments Ltd., said in a note. "Volatility is expected in the short term; however, the market is in a safe zone on a medium-term basis, in anticipation of a rise in demand during the second half of FY26," Nair added.

 

The Nifty 50 closed at 25145.50 points, down 81.85 points or 0.3%. The BSE Sensex closed at 82029.98 points, down 297.07 points or 0.4%. Broader market indices underperformed the benchmark indices as they came under intense pressure. The Nifty Midcap 150 and Nifty Smallcap 50 indices closed lower by 0.9% and 0.7%, respectively. 

 

Shares of Tata Motors closed 1.1% lower at INR 395.45, after a volatile session as the stock traded without the value of the company's commercial vehicle business post its demerger. After the split, the passenger vehicle company will comprise Tata Motors' domestic passenger vehicle business, Jaguar Land Rover business, stake in Tata Sons, Tata Steel, and Tata Technology, along with other investments. In the special pre-open session for price discovery, the stock had settled at a price of INR 400. This price is 40% lower than Monday's closing price of INR 660.75.

 

Among the sector indices, those tracking public sector banks and consumer durables companies fell the most. The Nifty PSU Bank closed 1.5% lower at 7596.50 points. The index had closed higher for the last three sessions, gaining 2.5% in this period. All the 12 Nifty PSU constituents ended Tuesday's session lower. Bank of Maharashtra ended 4% lower after the bank's net interest margin contracted to 3.85% in Jul-Sept from 3.95% in the June quarter. The bank sees its margin stabilising in the next two quarters if there are no interest rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of India.

 

Consumer durables stocks fell, with Dixon Technologies (India), Century Plyboards (I), Kajaria Ceramics, and Bata India closing 2-4% lower. The Nifty Consumer Durables index closed at 37850.70 points, down 1.1%, with only three constituents Cera Sanitaryware, Voltas, and Titan Co. ending in the positive territory. Metal stocks such as Hindustan Copper, Steel Authority of India, and Welspun Corp. fell 3-4%.

 

Among individual stocks, GAIL (India), which was down 1.3%, fell more after Informist reported quoting two sources that most members of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board have rejected the company's proposal to raise its gas tariff. The stock fell 4% to an intraday low of INR 173.47 but came slightly off the low and closed around 3% lower at INR 175.37. Tata Communications closed 4% higher and was the best performing Nifty 200 constituent. The rise comes a day before its September quarter results announcement.

 

Shares of LG Electronics India ended their debut session at INR 1,689.90, rising over 48% from the issue price of INR 1,140. The stock listed on the National Stock Exchange at INR 1,710.10, a premium of over 50% to its issue price. Almost 69 million shares of the company were traded on the exchange.
