Sensex Falls 238 Points Amid Mixed Market Performance
The Indian stock markets had a mixed day on Tuesday.
The Sensex and Nifty fell because big companies like Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank did not do well.
However, smaller companies and some sectors like automobiles and non-banking finance companies did better.
The midcap index even went up.
Some companies like Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor reported good results, which made their stocks go up.
Other companies like Maruti Suzuki increased their vehicle prices, which investors think will help them.
But solar and electronics stocks did not do well.
Overall, big companies made the main indices go down, but smaller companies and some sectors still attracted investors.
Sensex fell 238 points to 77,470, Nifty declined 51 points to 24,188.
Midcap index gained 186 points to 62,988, showing resilience in smaller stocks.
Heavyweights like Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank dragged down the benchmark indices.
Automobile stocks rose after Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor reported healthy Q1 FY27 results.
NBFCs like Manappuram Finance and Muthoot Finance performed well, with M&M Financial Services surging over 8%.
