Stock Market Today: Dalal Street Witnesses a Major Meltdown! Sensex DOWN 700 Points, Nifty Below 24,700, All Sectors in RED

Stock market Today | 26 September, 2025

It was a brutal day for the Indian stock market on September 26, as the bloodbath continued for the sixth straight session. The Nifty crashed below 24,700 and the Sensex plummeted by over 700 points, leaving investors in deep shock and disappointment.

Major stocks like IndusInd Bank, Mahindra & Mahindra, Bajaj Finance, Tata Steel, and Sun Pharma were among the top losers, dragging the index sharply lower. On the other hand, only a few like L&T, Tata Motors, Eicher Motors, Maruti Suzuki, and ITC managed to stay in the green.

What’s worse, all sectoral indices ended in the red, banks, IT, metals, oil & gas, and pharma all fell between 1-2%. Even midcap and smallcap stocks weren’t spared, with both indices falling by 2%.

The mood in the market is grim, and continued profit booking has left investors worried about what’s coming next.
