MUMBAI – The Indian equity benchmarks, NIFTY 50 and BSE Sensex, traded with a negative bias during Tuesday’s noon session, December 30, 2025. Sentiment remained fragile as persistent foreign fund outflows and thin year-end trading volumes left investors cautious.
Market at a Glance (Noon Session)
The NIFTY 50 index slipped below the crucial psychological level of 25,900, testing intraday lows around 25,880. Simultaneously, the BSE Sensex dropped approximately 145 points, trading near the 84,550 mark.
Market experts suggest that the “holiday mood” in global markets, combined with the monthly F&O (Futures & Options) expiry volatility, has prevented any decisive recovery.
Buzzing Stocks: Gainers and Losers
Despite the broader weakness, several stocks witnessed significant traction due to corporate developments and sector-specific buying.
Ola Electric Mobility: Shares of the EV maker were in focus, trading nearly 3% higher at ₹36.60. The stock appeared to be attempting a trend reversal after a prolonged period of selling pressure throughout 2025.
Bharat Electronics (BEL): The defense major buzzed after announcing fresh orders worth ₹569 crore. The stock traded firmly in the green, bucking the trend of the broader capital goods sector.
InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo): The airline stock faced turbulence, dropping over 1.5%. This decline came amid a broader sell-off in the travel and consumption sectors as investors booked profits ahead of the new year.
Eternal (Zomato): Emerged as one of the top laggards on the Nifty, falling over 2% following reports of high-level executive exits in its quick-commerce vertical.
Sectoral Performance
The market landscape was largely divided:
Drags: Realty, Healthcare, and IT sectors were the primary weights on the indices. Heavyweights like Infosys and Asian Paints saw steady selling.
Supports: The Nifty Metal and PSU Bank indices provided some cushion, with stocks like Tata Steel and Bajaj Auto gaining on the back of positive industrial production (IIP) data released recently.
Global Cues & Outlook
Asian markets showed a mixed trend today, with Japan’s Nikkei and South Korea’s Kospi trading lower, tracking a tech-led slump on Wall Street. Crude oil prices remained steady near $62 per barrel, offering little immediate trigger for the energy sector.
Analysts maintain that the immediate support for Nifty lies in the 25,750–25,800 zone. A failure to hold these levels could lead to further consolidation.
