India’s benchmark Nifty 50 index provisionally closed lower on November 6, 2025, slipping 0.64% to end at 25,597.65. The decline was driven by profit booking, weak global cues, and sectoral pressure, despite a positive opening. Analysts expect continued consolidation unless key resistance levels are breached.
