EQUITY
Post Session: Quick Review
Oct-14-2025

Indian equity benchmarks failed to hold their opening gains and ended slightly lower on the day of the weekly F&O expiry. After a positive start, soon indices turned negative due to broad-based selling and profit booking in specific sectors. In the final hour of trade, the markets recouped some losses but remained below the flat line, weighed down by global uncertainties.

Some of the important factors in trade:

Foreign fund outflows: Some cautiousness came amid foreign fund outflows. Foreign investors net sold shares worth Rs 240 crore on Monday.

India's wholesale inflation cools to 0.13% in September: Traders ignored the government report that India’s Wholesale price inflation (WPI) softened to 0.13 per cent in September 2025 on easing in prices of food articles, fuel and manufactured items. 

Retail inflation slips to over 8-year low of 1.54% in September: Traders overlooked the government data showed that India's retail inflation slowed to an over 8-year low of 1.54 per cent in September and slipped below Reserve Bank's comfort zone mainly due to subdued prices of vegetables, fruits and pulses.

Global front: European markets were trading in red as investors closely monitoring the ongoing political turmoil in France. Asian markets ended in red weighed down by escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China.

The BSE Sensex ended at 82029.98, down by 297.07 points or 0.36% after trading in a range of 81781.62 and 82573.37. There were 6 stocks advancing against 24 stocks declining on the index. (Provisional)

The broader indices ended in red; the BSE Mid cap index was down by 0.74%, while Small cap index down by 0.95%. (Provisional)

The top losing sectoral indices on the BSE were Telecom down by 1.39%, Consumer Durables down by 1.13%, PSU down by 1.02%, Oil & Gas down by 1.01% and Realty down by 0.96%, while there were no winning sectoral indices on BSE. (Provisional)

The top gainers on the Sensex were Tech Mahindra up by 1.25%, ICICI Bank up by 0.36%, Power Grid Corp up by 0.33%, Hindustan Unilever up by 0.31% and Reliance Industries up by 0.04%. On the flip side, Tata Motors Passenger down by 40.16%, Bajaj Finance down by 1.80%, Bharat Electronics down by 1.76%, Tata Steel down by 1.71% and TCS down by 1.56% were the top losers. (Provisional)

Meanwhile, the S&P Global Ratings has said the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) proposal to implement an expected credit loss (ECL) framework and revised Basel III norms reflects strategic timing, allowing banks to benefit from economic growth prospects. It said the implementation of ECL by April 1, 2027, with a five-year transition, will give banks time to fine-tune their models, gather data, and smooth out the impact of ECL provisioning on profitability and capital. 

S&P said higher capital ratios anticipated under Basel III reforms can cushion ECL provisions. It said credit availability will also be eased for large corporates, including for acquisition financing and operational infrastructure projects. It added that relaxation of regulatory guardrails in certain areas could also incentivise some borrowers to pivot toward cheaper bank financing versus markets such as private credit, potentially reshaping credit demand dynamics.

Recently, the RBI released draft norms on ECL-based provisioning for banks' stressed loans, which will replace the current incurred loss-based norms that banks use to make provisions. The RBI plans to apply the ECL framework from April 1, 2027, moving away from the existing incurred-loss provisioning system and bringing India into line with international standards. Banks will be allowed to smooth out provisioning adjustments until March 2031. The RBI also proposed several other measures that enhance credit flow to the economy. These include relaxation of risk weights to certain sectors, such as unrated micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) and residential real estate. 

The CNX Nifty ended at 25145.50, down by 81.85 points or 0.32% after trading in a range of 25060.55 and 25310.35. There were 17 stocks advancing against 33 stocks declining on the index. (Provisional)

The top gainers on Nifty were Max Healthcare up by 1.59%, Wipro up by 1.34%, Tech Mahindra up by 1.18%, Apollo Hospital up by 1.15% and Power Grid Corp up by 0.47%. On the flip side, Tata Motors Passenger down by 40.15%, Dr. Reddy's Lab down by 1.99%, Bharat Electronics down by 1.71%, Bajaj Finance down by 1.70% and TCS down by 1.56% were the top losers. (Provisional)

European markets were trading lower; France’s CAC fell 87.16 points or 1.1% to 7,847.10, Germany’s DAX lost 253.03 points or 1.04% to 24,134.90 and UK’s FTSE 100 decreased 33.62 points or 0.36% to 9,409.25.

Asian markets settled down on Tuesday with Chinese and Hong Kong shares declining after the US-China trade tensions once again escalated after the world's two largest economies imposed port fees on each other's shipping firms, pushing up costs on both sides. Meanwhile, markets were focusing on earnings from Wall Street's biggest banks and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's keynote speech on the US economic outlook and monetary policy. Japanese shares led regional losses after the coalition government collapsed, threatening Sanae Takaichi's ascent to prime minister.
