BusinessSensex and Nifty Face Worst 9-Month Performance in 15 Years
In the first nine months of 2026, the BSE Sensex fell 15%, marking its worst performance in 15 years, while the Nifty 50 dropped 13%. Despite a modest 1% recovery from their 52-week lows by March 30, foreign portfolio investors withdrew Rs 2.50 trillion amid global geopolitical tensions, rising oil prices, and a weak rupee. Nifty Smallcap 100 rose 8.35%, outperforming benchmarks.
