Share Market: Dalal Street witnesses negative sentiments as India’s benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, settle down in red on Wednesday, March 12, 2025. The Sensex (index with top 30 firms) tumbled 72.56 points to settle at 74,029.76 on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Nifty50 (index with top 50 firms) was down 27.40 points to settle at 22,470.50 points.
There are several sectors contributing to the drop of the Indian equities. The Indian rupee is continuously witnessing declines. Moreover, US President Donald Trump said that he will impose equal tariffs even on the friendly countries. Meanwhile, the recent Delhi election results, which saw the BJP secure a decisive victory, were anticipated to bring stability to market sentiment, but they failed to do so.
Perhaps, continuous selling by the foreign investors in Indian equities remains the biggest reason for share market downturn. Foreign investors have pulled out Rs 1,41,067 crore from Indian equities in 2025 so far.
