Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty managed to recover slightly from their lowest points during the trading session, though ongoing sectoral pressures continued to influence market movement. Market volatility also crept upward, with the India VIX rising by roughly 3 percent.
During the session, the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and media sectors acted as notable drags on the broader indices, pulling down momentum. Despite the intraday pressure, earlier trading hours had seen positive catalysts, including strong support from information technology (IT) stocks and supportive global market cues that initially helped indices climb.
