As of February 21, 2025, India’s benchmark stock indices experienced a decline, largely driven by losses in the financial and automobile sectors. Concerns over ongoing U.S. tariffs have weighed on market sentiment, causing investors to retreat from Indian stocks. The broader market, represented by the Nifty 50 index, saw a decrease of 0.67%, while the BSE Sensex fell by 0.66%. These movements reflect the cautious mood among investors amid rising global uncertainties.
The primary drag on the market came from the financial sector, with private lender ICICI Bank experiencing significant losses. The banking sector, in particular, was affected by concerns regarding tightening global liquidity and potential economic slowdown, which has reduced investor confidence in the financial stocks. This led to a noticeable decline in the share prices of some of India’s top banking institutions, further contributing to the market’s bearish sentiment.
The automobile sector also played a crucial role in the market’s downturn. Stocks of major auto companies such as Mahindra & Mahindra and Tata Motors witnessed sharp declines. These losses came amid concerns about falling demand in key markets and challenges posed by high raw material costs, which continue to pressure automakers' profit margins. The automobile sector declined as Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors faced demand concerns, high costs, and global supply chain disruptions.The global automotive supply chain disruptions, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions, have further raised worries for these companies.
