Mid-Session - Detailed News

Nifty slides below 23,650 mark; auto shares drop
12-Mar-26   10:25 Hrs IST
The headline equity indices witnessed sharp losses in morning trade, pressured by escalating tensions in the Iran-Israel-US conflict, persistent selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs), and a surge in crude oil prices above the $100-per-barrel mark. The heightened geopolitical uncertainty dampened investor sentiment, dragging the Nifty below the 23,650 level. Auto stocks remained under pressure, extending their decline for the second consecutive session amid the broader market weakness.

At 10:30 IST, the barometer index, the S&P BSE Sensex, dropped 691.92 points or 0.90% to 76,171.79. The Nifty 50 index fell 232.15 points or 0.98% to 23,636.50.

The broader market underperformed the frontline indices. The BSE 150 MidCap Index tumbled 1.28% and the BSE 250 SmallCap Index slumped 1.35%.

The market breadth was weak. On the BSE, 1,075 shares rose and 2,596 shares fell. A total of 216 shares were unchanged.

The NSE's India VIX, a gauge of the market's expectation of volatility over the near term, rallied 5.18% to 22.16.
