  • Top Hit Sectors: Realty, metals, capital goods, PSU banks (down over 4%).
  • Mid & Small Caps: Fell more than 3%, indicating deeper market weakness.

Major losers included Shriram Finance, Interglobe Aviation, UltraTech Cement, Adani Enterprises, and Jio Financial.

Limited gainers were seen in defensive stocks like HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, ONGC, Power Grid, and TCS.

🔮 Outlook & Holidays

Markets are expected to remain volatile with a shortened trading week ahead due to multiple holidays:

  • March 26 – Ram Navami
  • March 28-29 – Weekend
  • March 31 – Mahavir Jayanti (FY-end)

Analysts suggest closely tracking crude oil prices, global developments, and foreign investor activity.
