On Monday, 29 December 2025, Indian equity markets closed on a weak note, with benchmark indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 ending in the red amid thin year-end trading volumes and sustained foreign fund outflows. The Sensex fell by around 346 points, while the Nifty slipped below the 25,950 level, extending the recent losing trend.
Market breadth favoured sellers, with more than 2,100 stocks declining on the NSE compared with over 1,000 advancing issues. The broader markets underperformed, as the Midcap and Smallcap indices posted steeper losses than the benchmark indices.
Sectorally, most indices closed in negative territory. IT, Auto, Realty, and Pharma stocks led the declines, while FMCG and Media stocks showed some resilience with modest gains.
Investors remained cautious ahead of the upcoming corporate earnings season, compounded by persistent foreign institutional investor selling and a weakening rupee in the currency markets. Calendar year 2025 saw robust IPO activity, with nearly 373 issues raising significant capital, making India one of the world’s most active IPO markets.
Analysts noted that with limited domestic triggers and subdued participation due to holiday trading, volatility dominated market sentiment, and range-bound movement is likely to persist as markets transition into 2026.
29 December 2025 ko Indian share market me Sensex aur Nifty dono neeche close hue, jahan holiday-affected trading aur foreign fund outflows ne sentiment ko weak banaya. BSE Sensex lagbhag 346 points gir gaya, aur NSE Nifty 25,950 ke neeche close hua, jo recent losing trend ko extend karta hai.
Market breadth seller ke favour me tha — NSE par 2,100 se zyada stocks decline hue, jabki 1,000 se zyada stocks advance me the. Broader markets me Midcap aur Smallcap indices ne benchmark se zyada girawat dikhayi.
Sector wise, IT, Auto, Realty aur Pharma shares me weakness dekhi gayi, jabki FMCG aur Media stocks me halki gains rahi. Investors ne upcoming corporate earnings season ko dekhte hue cautious stance liya, jisse trading me participation limited rahi.
2025 me IPO activity strong rahi — takriban 373 issues ne capital raise kiya, jisne Indian primary markets ko globally active banaya. Experts ka kehna hai ki year-end ke low liquidity aur muted domestic triggers ki wajah se markets me volatility bani rahi aur range-bound trend dekhne ko mil sakta hai jab markets 2026 me shift ho rahe hain.
