Indian equities remained under selling pressure on March 13, 2026, as crude oil prices stayed elevated due to ongoing Middle East tensions, combined with continued foreign institutional investor outflows and cautious sentiment ahead of key global cues. The Nifty 50 traded lower by around 0.8-1.0% intraday, hovering near 23,600-23,700 levels, while the Sensex shed roughly 600-800 points to trade around 76,200-76,500. FIIs maintained net selling (following ₹7,000+ crore offload in prior sessions), though domestic institutional buying offered partial support.
More than 100 stocks across BSE groups hit fresh 52-week lows today, with smallcaps and microcaps witnessing the steepest erosion amid broad-based weakness in discretionary, cyclical, and oil-sensitive names.

- Microcap and penny stocks dominated the sharpest declines, with several names dropping 10%+ to new yearly lows amid thin liquidity and risk-off flows.
- Among relatively larger or A-group counters, notable hits included TRENT (LTP 3558, low 3500), SAPPHIRE, DELTACORP, KPITTECH, NEWGEN, and select consumption-linked names reflecting sector rotation away from discretionary plays.
- Oil-sensitive, infra, and smallcap segments remained the most vulnerable, while select defensives and largecaps showed relative resilience.
Markets stay range-bound with Nifty watching support around 23,500-23,600 levels amid crude volatility and FII activity.
