March 20, 2026 – Indian benchmarks extended their corrective phase for the sixth straight session, with the Nifty 50 slipping below 24,000 and the Sensex trading around 78,100, dragged by sustained selling in IT, financials and select large-caps amid continued FII outflows and cautious Q4 earnings sentiment. Rural demand weakness further pressured mid- and small-cap stocks.
In one of the most widespread sell-offs in recent months, over 450 stocks across segments touched or breached fresh 52-week lows, reflecting deep valuation resets and broad risk aversion.
