📝 Wrap
Market Summary — 28 Sept 2026
The mood turned sharply cautious as NIFTY 50 sank 360 points to close at 22,780, a steep 1.56% drop. Breadth was brutal — just 3 stocks rose while 47 fell, showing near-universal selling pressure.
IT emerged the "least bad" sector at -0.26%, with Infosys inching up ₹3 to ₹1,003, the only heavyweight showing resilience. Dr Reddy's topped gainers, rising ₹20 to ₹1,221 on decent volumes, suggesting some defensive buying in pharma. But make no mistake — there were no real winners today.
PSU Banks led the bloodbath, crashing 3.24%. TMPV, the newly merged Tata Motors passenger vehicles entity, plunged 3% to ₹281.75 on heavy volumes of 1.4 crore shares — profit booking after recent run-ups hurt. Adani Enterprises shed ₹85 to ₹2,831, while L&T lost ₹110 to ₹3,766, reflecting broad-based institutional selling across infra and conglomerate names.
Sector rotation is clear: money is fleeing cyclicals and PSU plays, huddling into IT and pharma as temporary shelters. FMCG and consumption too fell over 1.2%, so even defensives aren't fully spared.
