Stock Market Today: On Thursday, September 25, 2025, the Indian stock market traded with resilience after an initial dip. The BSE Sensex recovered to trade 100 points higher after an initial fall of 184 points, while the NSE Nifty-50 opened near 25,100. HDFC Bank, SBI, and Infosys recorded gains, whereas Tata Motors, Hero MotoCorp, and Wipro registered declines. The increase in US H1B visa fees, high tariffs, and selling by foreign investors kept investor sentiment under pressure, leading to the market's flat movement.
Momentum in Key Stocks
Since morning, banking and IT stocks have shown strength. HDFC Bank shares rose by 1.5 percent, while SBI traded with a 1.2 percent gain. Infosys and Asian Paints saw increases of 0.9 and 0.8 percent respectively. On the other hand, auto sector stocks were under pressure. Tata Motors shares fell by 2 percent, Hero MotoCorp by 1.4 percent, Wipro by 1.1 percent, and Bajaj Auto by 0.9 percent.
Why is the Market Under Pressure?
The main reason for the pressure in the Indian stock market in recent days is global uncertainty. The US has increased H1B visa fees and tightened its tariff policy. These decisions have raised concerns among investors. Additionally, continuous selling by foreign investors and domestic profit-booking have also contributed to the market's flat movement.
Early Trading Decline
Around 9:15 AM today, the Sensex was trading at 81,531.28, down by 184.35 points. The Nifty also saw a decline of 51.20 points and opened at 25,005.70. In the early hours of trading, a total of 1182 shares were advancing, while 1186 shares were declining, and 151 shares remained stable.
Advancing Stocks
On the Nifty, shares of Hindalco, Dr. Reddy's Labs, ONGC, Tata Steel, and Tata Consumer showed strength. The shares of these companies helped maintain positive momentum in the market. Investors continued to buy these stocks, which contributed to overall market balance.
Stocks Under Pressure
Meanwhile, shares of Tata Motors, Bajaj Finance, Titan Company, Maruti Suzuki, and Hero MotoCorp declined. These companies, particularly those related to the auto and consumer sectors, felt the impact of market pressure. During the early market weakness, these stocks kept the Sensex and Nifty under pressure.
Impact of Global Cues
Market uncertainty has increased due to US policies. The rise in H1B visa fees could increase costs for IT and technology companies. This has weakened investor sentiment. Additionally, global tariffs and trade tensions are also putting pressure on the market.
Amidst market declines and advances, investor behavior appears cautious. Buying is observed during upward movements, while profit-booking is evident in weaker stocks. This is maintaining an overall balanced market trend.
