Stock Market
Synopsis
India’s benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended lower on Wednesday, dragged down by rate-sensitive stocks, after the Reserve Bank of India held key interest rates and stuck to a ‘neutral’ policy stance, in line with expectations but dampening some hopes for a more dovish signal amid global trade headwinds.
Q1 Results
The BSE Sensex fell 166.26 points, or 0.21%, to end at 80,543.99, while the NSE Nifty shed 75.35 points, or 0.31%, to settle at 24,574.20. On the 30-stock Sensex pack, shares of Sun Pharma, Tech Mahindra, Bajaj Finance, Infosys, HCL Tech and Eternal led the laggards, falling between 1% and 2.3%.
Sectorally, rate-sensitive real estate stocks dropped 1.5%, while the consumer and auto indices fell 0.9% and 0.5%, respectively. Financial stocks, the heaviest sectoral weight, were largely flat. IT and pharmaceutical stocks, which generate a significant portion of revenue from the U.S., fell 1.7% and 2%, respectively, following fresh trade tensions.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that tariffs on Indian imports would be raised “very substantially” within 24 hours in response to India’s continued purchase of Russian oil, rattling investor sentiment further.
Broader markets underperformed, with the Nifty Smallcap and Midcap indices falling 1.1% and 0.8%, respectively, reflecting their higher sensitivity to domestic borrowing costs and growth expectations.

The RBI has held the repo rate steady at 5.5%, maintaining a neutral stance amid a stable economic backdrop. While inflation forecasts have been revised downward to 3.1% for the year, the central bank flagged potential year-end pressure, projecting a rise to 4.4% due to seasonal factors. With GDP growth pegged at 6.5% and liquidity in surplus, the RBI reiterated its data-dependent approach, staying cautious yet flexible in the face of global uncertainties.
- Mr. Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd.
After the frontloading of policy actions in June, it was unlikely that the RBI would alter the policy rate or guidance in the August review. In an uncertain external environment, marked by trade and tariff disruptions that are likely to keep external demand subdued, the onus of sustaining growth largely rests on domestic policy measures and the evolution of domestic demand drivers. In this context, we continue to expect the RBI to calibrate incremental actions based on the evolving domestic growth outlook.
