Stock market crash: IRCTC, LG Electronics, Colgate among 145 stocks that hit 52-week low on NSE

NIFTY50 and SENSEX witnessed steep fall today, extending the losing streak to fourth straight day. As of 1:30 pm, NIFTY50 index was down 227 points or 0.8% to trade around 25,910, while the SENSEX is trading 615 points lower or 0.7% at 84,338 on January 8.

Why market is down today?

Domestic benchmark indices are trading lower reacting to renowned US tariff fear after US President Donald Trump issued a fresh warning regarding tariffs and has backed a sanctions bill that could impose 500% tariffs on Russian goods and services and may also impact countries buying Russian oil. This new bill has raised import tariffs concerns for India as well.

Besides this consistent sell-off by the foreign institutional investors (FIIs) has also kept the market sentiments weak. On Wednesday, FIIs offloaded shares worth ₹1,527.71 crore, turning net sellers for the third consecutive session. So far this month, Flls have sold Indian equities worth 4,650.39 crore. Meanwhile, FIIs have remained net sellers in the Indian markets on a monthly basis since July 2025.

Markets sentiments are also weak amid rising geopolitical tensions. Experts believe further escalation between US-Venezuela conflict could add to geopolitical complexity and impact domestic markets as well.

Broader market indices like NIFTY Midcap100 (-1.6%) and NIFTY Smallcap100 (-1.7%) are also trading lower. More than 140 stocks hit their 52-week low amid market fall.

The volatility index, or India VIX, is up 6.9% to 10.65. All the NIFTY sectoral indices are trading in red, with NIFTY Metal (-3.2%) and NIFTY Oil & Gas (-2.7%) being the top losers. Hindalco (-3.6%), ONGC (-3.0%) and Jio Financial (-2.9%) were top three NIFTY50 losers.
