Mumbai, February 11, 2026 – Indian benchmarks deepened their February slide on Tuesday, with Nifty tumbling 0.8% to 25,300 and Sensex shedding 0.9% to 82,700, battered by persistent FII selling (₹3,000 Cr net out) and pre-earnings caution in consumer and infra sectors. At least 30 scrips hit lower price bands (mostly 5-10%), halting trades amid margin calls and global yield pressures. This extends the month's volatility, wiping ₹500 Cr in value from leaders like Stltech (down 9.83% to ₹142.00 on tech slowdown), Anondita (locked 4.14% at ₹825.10 amid SME woes), and Supremepwr (down 10.57% to ₹146.80 on power margin squeeze).
The rout underscores broader risk-off sentiment, with SMEs and BE series hardest hit on thin liquidity. Volumes contracted 18%, but sellers dominated 3:1. Analysts flag Q3 previews as key—potential relief if IT/pharma deliver.
