Indian stocks opened lower on Tuesday as selling in financials dragged the market after October’s strong rally. The Sensex fell over 200 points, and the Nifty slipped below 25,550 amid high volatility ahead of the weekly expiry.
Bajaj Finance tumbled nearly 7% after trimming its FY26 growth forecast and reporting higher NPAs, while Bajaj Finserv lost over 6%. HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank also declined, pulling the financial index down nearly 1%.
On the upside, Mahindra & Mahindra, ONGC, and Tata Steel gained up to 1%, offering some support. Broader markets also traded slightly lower, with analysts expecting range-bound movement through the week.
