Indian equities decline amid profit booking and weak global sentiment

Indian stock markets saw sharp declines as the Sensex dropped over 600 points while the Nifty slipped below 25,350, driven by profit booking and rising global market volatility. Broader indices also weakened, with banking and technology stocks under pressure. Analysts attributed the fall to foreign institutional outflows and cautious investor positioning ahead of upcoming macroeconomic data. Despite the downturn, the energy sector provided limited support. Market participants expect consolidation in the near term as global uncertainty and valuation concerns continue to weigh on investor confidence.
