On September 22, 2026, the benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty closed lower amid selling pressure in IT, financial, and capital-goods stocks. This weighed on domestic markets despite positive global cues and easing crude oil prices.
The 30-share BSE Sensex fell 329.91 points, or 0.44%, to end at 74,529.08. It had dropped as much as 435.28 points, or 0.58%, during the session. Bajaj Finserv, Trent, Bajaj Finance, Sun Pharma, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and UltraTech Cement were among the main laggards.
The Nifty settled at 23,329, reflecting continued investor caution and sectoral selling. Overall, weakness in IT and select large-cap stocks offset support from favorable global market trends and lower crude oil prices, keeping domestic benchmarks in negative territory.
