Why such a sharp fall in the stock market today? BSE Sensex fell by more than 700 points, this is the big reason

Stock Market News: The top five gainers whose shares rose in the afternoon are Hindustan Unilever 4.77 percent, Axis Bank 0.48 percent and Sun Pharmaceuticals 0.51 percent.

Stock Market Today: A big decline has been seen in the stock market today. On the last trading day of the week, Friday 11 July 2025, it fell by about one percent due to selling in all sectors. The 30-digit Sensex on the BSE fell 700 points to 82,509.59, while the Nifty-50 on the NSE also slipped 200 points to 25,162.25 at around 12:30 pm.

However, on one hand, while FMCG stocks saw a rise and the shares of Hindustan Unilever Ltd. (HUL) jumped by 5 percent, on the other hand, the IT sector saw a huge decline. The market came down today due to the fall in major stocks like Reliance Industries.

 

 

Which one is in decline and which one is in growth?

TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) quarterly results on Friday were less than expected. Due to this, its stock fell by about 2.75 percent. While in the afternoon session, the IT index on Nifty also fell by 1 percent.

The top five gainers whose shares rose in the afternoon are Hindustan Unilever 4.77 percent, Axis Bank 0.48 percent and Sun Pharmaceuticals 0.51 percent. Whereas, apart from TCS, the shares which declined today include Mahindra & Mahindra 2.43 percent, Bajaj Finserv 1.72 percent, Reliance 1.68 percent and Bajaj Finserv 1.72 percent.

Why did the market fall?

There was tremendous selling pressure in the market today, from IT to auto stocks. Only the FMCG sector saw a rise. According to market experts, due to global uncertainties, the stocks of large cap IT firms were seen struggling. The weakness of IT stocks and the fall of 1.85 percent in the Nifty IT index after the TCS quarterly results disappointed the investors.

Apart from this, Nifty Mid Cap 100 also slipped by 0.86 percent while Nifty Small Cap 10 also fell by 1.00 percent. However, India VIX stocks saw a rise of 1.90 percent.
