|September 26, 2025
India’s equity benchmarks declined for the fifth straight session on Thursday, marking their longest losing streak in more than six months, as IT stocks slumped after persistent foreign outflows in the wake of U.S. visa curbs kept investors on edge.
The Nifty 50 slipped 0.66% to 24,890.85 and the BSE Sensex eased 0.68% to 81,159.68 to log their longest losing run since early March.
The Nifty and Sensex fell 2.1% and 2.2% in five sessions.
On the day, fifteen of the 16 major sectors declined, while small-cap and mid-cap indexes shed 0.6% each.
IT index lost 5.6%, leading the sectoral decline so far this week. On the day, it fell 1.3%.
