Stock market Today: Closing Bell | Dalal Street Turns Red; IT, Metal, Auto Stocks Drag Markets Lower; Nifty Ends Below 25,600

Stock market Today: Market Wrao |  Dalal Street began the week on a somber note as bears tightened their grip over the markets.

The Indian equity indices extended losses through the session, with the Sensex slipping 519 points to close at 83,459 and the Nifty settling below the 25,600 mark at 25,597, weighed down by broad-based selling across key sectors.

The mood on the Street turned cautious as investors booked profits in heavyweights from IT, metal, and auto, dragging benchmarks lower. Out of nearly 4,000 traded stocks, 2,439 ended in the red, sharply outnumbering the 1,543 gainers, a clear sign of fading momentum.

While pockets of strength were seen in consumer durables and telecom, they weren’t enough to offset the pressure. With the midcap and smallcap indices also losing ground, Monday’s close painted a subdued picture, a reminder that even in a record-setting market, volatility still has the final word.
