March 12, 2026 – Indian benchmarks edged higher in early trade, with the Nifty 50 up 0.2% near 24,350 and the Sensex adding 150 points above 79,600, aided by IT and pharma rebounds amid lighter FII selling of ₹500 crore. Midcaps, however, showed cracks as Next 50 names underperformed on profit-booking in autos and consumer staples, reflecting valuation concerns post-rally.
The Nifty Next 50's laggards underscored sector-specific pressures, with 20 constituents posting intraday losses amid moderated volumes.
