March 10, 2026 – Indian benchmarks extended losses in mid-session trading on Tuesday, with the Nifty slipping 0.7% to below 24,100 and the Sensex down 550 points near 79,000, led by a sharp pullback in IT heavyweights on weak US tech cues and FII selling of ₹2,200 crore. Energy and metals offered mild support, but broader caution prevailed ahead of key inflation prints.
The Nifty's underperformers highlighted vulnerability in technology and telecom, with 16 constituents posting notable intraday declines amid subdued volumes.
