Indian Stocks Slip as Oil Falls and Corporate Developments Unfold
Indian stock markets had a difficult day after rising for four sessions.
The Nifty and Sensex both fell, partly because foreign investors sold many shares and information-technology stocks weakened.
Domestic investors continued buying, which provided some support.
Oil prices also fell, with Brent crude moving below $98 a barrel.
Reports of possible talks between the United States and Iran reduced some worries about oil supplies and geopolitics.
India’s market regulator settled a case involving five Adani Group companies for ₹1.51 crore.
Tata Group leaders and supporters continued discussing the future leadership of Tata Sons.
Meanwhile, businesses discussed large artificial-intelligence investments, and JSW Greentech introduced a new electric-vehicle brand for buses and trucks.
The Nifty fell 85 points to 23,329, while the Sensex declined 330 points to 74,529, ending the Nifty’s four-session winning streak.
Foreign institutional investors sold Indian equities worth ₹3,809.99 crore, while domestic institutional investors remained net buyers.
Brent crude fell below $98 a barrel before recovering slightly, extending its decline to a fifth session amid reports of a possible US-Iran diplomatic opening.
SEBI settled proceedings against five Adani Group companies for ₹1.51 crore over allegations involving related-party disclosures and corporate governance.
Persistent Systems increased its stake in Nagarro, while JSW Greentech launched Ampstar as a commercial electric-vehicle brand.
