March 20, 2026 – Indian benchmarks continued to trade under pressure, with the Nifty 50 hovering near 24,000 and the Sensex around 78,100 levels, as IT and financial stocks faced sustained selling amid ongoing FII outflows. However, selective buying emerged in consumer, e-commerce and niche manufacturing names, leading to strong upper circuit moves in several small- and mid-cap stocks.
Over 50 stocks hit upper circuit limits, reflecting bargain hunting in recently corrected segments despite the broader market weakness.
