March 12, 2026 – Indian benchmarks deepened losses for the second straight session, with the Nifty 50 sliding 0.8% below 24,200 and the Sensex tumbling 600 points under 79,000, dragged by auto heavyweights and financials amid escalating FII outflows surpassing ₹2,500 crore. Rural demand worries amplified the downturn, though pharma and energy offered limited offsets.
Over 60 stocks triggered lower circuit breakers, mainly in mid- and small-caps, as cascading weakness from manufacturing themes overwhelmed bids.
