Nifty Bank
The Nifty Bank index faced a sharp decline in today’s trading session, closing at 47,853.95, down by 362.85 points or 0.75%. The index opened at 47,874.80 and touched an intraday high of 48,029.05, but intense selling pressure in banking stocks, particularly IndusInd Bank, led the index to slip to a low of 47,702.90.
The major trigger for the decline was IndusInd Bank’s 10% fall in the morning trade, driven by weak sentiment after negative global cues. Other leading private and public sector banks also witnessed profit-booking, contributing to the index’s downward movement.
Sector-Wise Market Performance
The Indian stock market witnessed mixed performance across sectoral indices on March 11, 2025. While sectors like Nifty Bank, Auto, IT, and Media faced selling pressure, Realty, Metal, Pharma, and Financial Services provided some support to the market.
The Nifty Bank index was the top loser, falling by 0.75% to close at 47,853.95, dragged down mainly by IndusInd Bank’s sharp 10% fall and weak sentiment in the banking sector. On the flip side, Nifty Realty emerged as the top gainer, jumping 3.63% driven by positive buying in real estate stocks.
