Nifty Falls 11% Between Navratris Amid Global Economic and Geopolitical Pressures
Between Navratri 2025 and Navratri 2026, the Nifty index declined by 11%, impacted by global economic and geopolitical uncertainties such as the US-Iran conflict, rising crude oil prices, a weakening rupee, and elevated US bond yields. Foreign portfolio investors sold Indian equities worth Rs 3.04 lakh crore in 2026, following Rs 1.66 lakh crore in 2025. Thirty-one Nifty stocks posted negative returns, with ITC, Tata Motors PV, Infosys, and others among the biggest losers. However, Shriram Finance gained nearly 49%, alongside Titan Company and Adani Ports.
