Indian Stocks Plunge Amid US Tariffs & Growth Concerns

Market Sentiment: negative

|

Importance Score: 9/10

Reasoning

The news is overwhelmingly negative, highlighted by a significant market decline, hefty US tariffs impacting a large portion of Indian exports, and slowing GDP growth. These factors combine to create a strongly pessimistic outlook.

Key Takeaway

Today’s market downturn was largely driven by the significant US tariffs on Indian goods, coupled with slowing GDP growth, creating a cautious outlook for investors.

Today was a tough day for the Indian stock market. The BSE Sensex closed down 1% at 80,786.54, losing 849.37 points, while the NSE Nifty 50 fell 1% to 24,712.05, dropping 255.70 points. This reflects overall negative sentiment.
Tariffs Take a Toll: The biggest story is the US imposing a hefty 50% tariff on Indian goods starting today. This impacts roughly 66% of Indian exports to the US, worth $60.2 billion. The Indian rupee weakened, opening 0.17% lower at Rs 87.7275 against the dollar. Experts predict this could shave 0.3-0.5 percentage points off India’s GDP growth, even with Fitch projecting 6.5% growth for FY26. This tariff news directly contributed to the market decline today.
Mixed Signals on Growth: Adding to concerns, India’s GDP growth likely slowed to 6.7% in the April-June quarter, down from 7.4% previously. While capital expenditure is up 52% year-on-year, overall economic activity is losing steam. Forecasts predict further slowdowns in the coming quarters, averaging 6.3% for the fiscal year – the slowest in five years.
Company Specifics: Vodafone Idea (Vi) shares plummeted nearly 10%, trading around Rs 6.66, after the government ruled out further relief on AGR dues. Year-to-date, Vi shares are down 16.85%. However, Ola Electric saw a rally, jumping as much as 7% on PLI certification for its Gen 3 scooters, despite a wider Q1 loss of Rs 428 crore (up from Rs 347 crore last year). The Vikran Engineering IPO was fully subscribed 2.38 times on Day 1, showing some investor appetite for new offerings.
Investor Activity: Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) continued to sell off equities, offloading ₹2,466.24 crore worth of shares today. However, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) are stepping in to provide some support, preventing a more drastic market correction. The overall market capitalization shrank by Rs 6.02 lakh crore today.
