Indian equity benchmarks witnessed a negative start to the trading session on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, succumbing to selling pressure in heavyweight stocks and persistent outflows of foreign capital.
Key Indices Register Declines
The market opening bell rang to a bearish tone as both major indices slipped into the red. The 30-share BSE Sensex depreciated by 259.36 points, or 0.31 per cent, to settle at 83,275.99 in early trade. Mirroring this trend, the broader 50-share NSE Nifty dropped 72.90 points, or 0.29 per cent, to 25,501.45.
Primary Factors Behind the Slide
The downturn was primarily dragged down by weak performance in specific stocks and broader macroeconomic concerns. Bajaj Finance emerged as a significant drag on the indices, with its falling share price exerting considerable downward pressure. Adding to the bearish sentiment were continued foreign fund outflows, indicating a cautious stance from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) towards Indian equities.
Market Sentiment and Outlook
The early trade performance set a cautious tone for the rest of the trading day. Investors are closely monitoring global cues and domestic factors for further direction. The combined effect of stock-specific weaknesses and the withdrawal of foreign capital has created a challenging environment for the markets to gain upward momentum in the immediate term.
