Synopsis : Indian markets traded mixed on Monday with Sensex and Nifty slipping into the red, weighed down by IT stocks. However, broader markets outperformed as midcaps and smallcaps gained, with realty emerging as the star sector.
Indian equities witnessed a volatile session on Monday, September 15, 2025, amid mixed global cues. The BSE Sensex was trading at 81,823.28, up 81 points or 0.1%, while the NSE Nifty50 slipped 35 points or 0.14% to hover at 25,079.
Broader markets displayed strength, with the Nifty MidCap index up 0.18% and the Nifty SmallCap index climbing 0.42%, reflecting strong investor appetite beyond the largecaps.
Top gainers in early trade included Eternal, Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, Bajaj Finance, Bharat Electronics, Adani Ports, Tata Motors, NTPC, Power Grid, and Hindalco, which rose up to 0.8%. Meanwhile, Dr Reddy’s Labs, Sun Pharma, Infosys, Shriram Finance, HDFC Life, Cipla, SBI Life, Wipro, and Asian Paints were the major laggards, falling as much as 1.6%.
On the sectoral front, realty stocks led the rally with the Nifty Realty index advancing 0.92%. In contrast, the IT sector dragged markets lower, with the Nifty IT index slipping 0.74% amid selling in heavyweight tech counters.
Despite weakness in frontline indices, the resilience of mid and smallcap segments, coupled with strength in realty, signals underlying optimism in the broader market. Investors, however, remain cautious as sectoral divergences persist.
