Market Closing Bell - Markets Tread Water Amid Earnings Surprises, Green Energy Boost, and Regulatory Action

Market Summary

Indian equities were volatile and ended lower as the Sensex slipped 375 points and Nifty closed below 25,120, tracking weak global cues and sectoral churn. Mixed earnings, green energy approvals, and regulatory headlines kept the market mood cautious. Select realty and energy stocks outperformed while IT, Banks, and midcaps faced selling pressure.
