Indian equity benchmarks ended on a subdued note on Tuesday, with the Nifty settling near the 24,700 mark. The day’s session reflected profit-taking and a lack of strong follow-through buying at higher levels.
Investors kept a close watch on the government’s fiscal and policy interventions. Key areas under focus included:
Potential GST rationalization
Sectoral stimulus measures aimed at easing tariff-related headwinds and supporting the growth trajectory
Global trade developments also weighed on investor sentiment. The United States will impose a 50% tariff on Indian imports starting August 27, 2025, placing India at a pivotal juncture that will test both its economic resilience and diplomatic agility.
