The market remained under pressure with Nifty 50 trading around 22,550–22,706 levels (down nearly 1.8–2.4% intraday), extending the recent decline amid sustained FII net selling of ₹5,518 Cr on 20 Mar 2026, while strong DII buying of ₹5,706 Cr provided some cushion but could not prevent several stocks from hitting their lower price bands.
