Share Market Standard Trading Hours
On normal trading days, Indian equity markets operate from Monday to Friday. The regular trading session runs from 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM, while the pre-open session takes place between 9:00 AM and 9:15 AM.
At the end of the trading session, Indian stock markets closed in negative territory. The Sensex fell by 702.68 points, or 0.91%, ending at 76,847.57, while the Nifty declined by 207.95 points, or 0.86%, to settle at 23,842.65.
Stock Market Sector-wise performance
Most sectoral indices ended the day in the red. The only exceptions were power, defence, and telecom, which managed to stay relatively stable. However, several key sectors faced pressure, with FMCG, auto, IT, energy, and oil & gas each falling by around 1%.
Stock Market Top gainers and losers
Despite the overall weak market sentiment, a few stocks managed to post gains. The top performers on the Nifty included HDFC Life, Adani Enterprises, ICICI Bank, NTPC, and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles.
On the other hand, several heavyweight stocks were among the losers. These included Maruti Suzuki, Eicher Motors, Reliance Industries, Bajaj Finance, and InterGlobe Aviation, all of which dragged the index lower.
Overall, selling pressure across major sectors outweighed selective buying, leading to a weak close for the benchmark indices.
