NIFTY50 and SENSEX continue to trade lower for the second straight this week. Bears continued to hold their grip on the markets amid concerns over US President Donald Trump's new 25% tariffs on goods imported from Mexico and Canada, starting Tuesday.

As many as 395 stocks hit their lowest level in 52 weeks as the benchmark equity indices declined for the tenth day in a row. As of 12:30 pm, the benchmark NIFTY 50 declined 47.5 points, or 0.2%, to 22,073. The BSE SENSEX, meanwhile, fell 142 points, or 0.19%, to trade below 73,000 levels at 72,939.

The volatility index, or India VIX, slipped 0.4% to 13.70. NIFTY Auto and NIFTY FMCG index were among the top losers, while NIFTY Media and NIFTY PSU Bank were trading in green.

Here’s a look at the major stocks that touched their 52-week lows on March 4:

Titan Company (52-week low: ₹3,017)

Shares of Titan Co. Ltd dropped as much as 2.1% on Tuesday to hit their 52-week low of ₹3,017 apiece on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE). The stock is down almost 16% in the past month and 19% in the last one year.

Titan was in the spotlight after some leading market analysts issued concerns over the company’s earnings over FY 25-27 due to higher lease costs, partly attributed to US President Donald Trump’s tariff policy, and lower demand for gold jewellery due to rising gold prices.

Hindustan Unilever (52-week low: ₹2,138)

Shares of Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) fell as much as 1.8% on Tuesday to hit their 52-week low of ₹2,138.8 apiece. The stock is down nearly 5% in the last five trading sessions and almost 12% in the past month as the recent correction in the broader markets weighed on even defensive sectors like FMCG.

Britannia Industries (52-week low: ₹4,506)

Shares of Britannia Industries declined as much as 2% on Tuesday to hit their 52-week low of ₹4,506 apiece. The stock is down nearly 10% in the past month but is still down only 6% in the last one year.

Britannia Industries shares were in the news over the past one week after Zomato and Jio Financial Services replaced Britannia and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) in the Nifty 50 index as new members starting March 28, 2025.

GAIL India (52-week low: ₹150.52)

Shares of GAIL India Ltd dropped as much as 2.3% on Tuesday to hit their 52-week low of ₹150.52 apiece on the NSE. The stock has fallen over 14% in the past one month and 20% in the past one year.

A media report said on Tuesday that GAIL (India) has issued a tender seeking nine cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to be delivered over three years. India’s largest gas distributor is seeking three LNG cargoes for delivery on May 16-22, June 6-12 and July 1-7 this year, with submissions due on March 7, the report added.
