Share Market Today: Bloodbath at the Dalal Street continues as India’s benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, settle down in red on Monday, March 3, 2025. The Sensex (index with top 30 firms) tumbled 112.16 points to settle at 73,085.94 on Monday. Meanwhile, Nifty50 (index with top 50 firms) was down 5.40 points to settle at 22,119.30 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.
Furthermore, Union Budget, presented on February 1 and RBI’s MPC decision to cut the repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 6.25% failed to impress the equity markets.
Perhaps, continuous selling by the foreign investors in Indian equities remains the biggest reason for share market mayhem. Foreign investors have pulled out Rs 1,12,601 crore from Indian equities in 2025 so far.
