March 19, 2026 – Indian equity benchmarks remained under pressure, with the Nifty 50 hovering near 24,000 levels and the Sensex trading around 78,200, as sustained selling in IT, financials and select large-caps continued amid ongoing FII outflows and cautious Q4 earnings outlook. Rural demand weakness and global yield concerns further weighed on mid- and small-cap sentiment.
In one of the broadest sell-offs seen in recent months, over 450 stocks across segments touched or breached fresh 52-week lows, reflecting deep valuation resets and widespread risk aversion.
