The geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan triggered the volatility, impacting sectors such as energy and infrastructure.

Indian equity benchmarks, Sensex and Nifty, ended in negative territory after seven sessions of gains, perhaps due to the diplomatic actions against Pakistan by the government following the dastardly terror attacks in Pahalgam.

At the end of the trading, Nifty 50 at the National Stock Exchange (NSE) stayed at 24,246.70, declining 82.25 or 0.34 per cent, while the BSE Sensex dipped about 315 points or 0.39 per cent at 79,801.43.

At NSE, HUL, Bharti Airtel, Eicher Motors, ONGC, and Shriram Finance were the major losers, while UltraTech Cement, Grasim Industries, Tata Motors, and Tata Consumer were the gainers.
