Indian Markets Extend Sell-Off as RBI Hawkishness Hits Rate-Sensitive Stocks
Indian equities closed sharply lower on Thursday as the Reserve Bank of India’s hawkish policy stance continued to weigh on sentiment, especially in rate-sensitive sectors such as real estate and metals. The Nifty 50 fell 1.64% to 22,231.80, while the Sensex declined 1.46% to 71,593.24, with broader valuation resets adding to the pressure. Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Adani Enterprises and ITC were among the notable movers in a session defined by risk aversion and sectoral rotation.
