Mumbai: The Indian stock market ended the session on 23 September 2025, with the benchmark indices showing mixed trends. While the Nifty 50 struggled with minor losses, robust buying in selective midcap stocks provided support to the broader market sentiment.
Nifty 50 ended at 25,169.50, down by 32.85 points or 0.13% compared to the previous close. The index opened at 25,209.00 and moved within a high of 25,261.90 and a low of 25,084.65. Nifty Next 50 was under greater pressure, dropping 318.90 points (-0.46%), while Nifty Fin Service managed a mild gain of 31.10 points (0.12%) and Nifty Bank surged 225 points (0.41%), showcasing strong resilience in financial sectors.
Top Gainers: Midcap Strength Stands Out
Select midcap counters outperformed, led by BANARBEADS and EMKAY (both up 20%), followed closely by BCONCEPTS (19.99%), REFEX (15.93%), and ASAL (14.46%). These stocks saw notable upward moves, driven by healthy volumes and renewed investor interest. Strong momentum in midcaps contrasted the broader index’s weakness, highlighting sectoral rotation and targeted buying.
Top Losers: Profit Booking Dominates Heavyweights
Significant profit booking impacted stocks like MOMGF (-16.44%), EUROPRATIK (-8.78%), ATGL (-7.65%), HARIOMPIPE (-6.54%), and SHRADHA (-5.78%). These counters witnessed steep declines under higher volumes, indicating institutional sell-off and adjustment post recent rallies. This wave of selling reflected cautious sentiment among traders even as select pockets of the market outperformed.
Conclusion: 23 September 2025
The Indian market session on 23 September 2025, demonstrated a pause in the larger rally with the Nifty 50 closing marginally lower. The day belonged to midcaps, which showed strong relative strength despite widespread profit booking in headline indices. As market participants rotate capital and rebalance positions, stock selection and sector focus will be key to navigating ongoing volatility.
