March 12, 2026 – Indian benchmarks slipped in midday trade, with the Nifty 50 down 0.5% below 24,300 and the Sensex off 400 points near 79,200, hammered by heavyweights in autos and financials amid renewed FII outflows of ₹1,800 crore and sticky global yields curbing rate cut bets. Consumer and metals provided faint resistance, but sector rotation faltered.
The Nifty's decliners spotlighted manufacturing vulnerabilities, with 20 constituents logging intraday losses on elevated volumes.
