Indian equity benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty, started on a negative note on Thursday, September 19, 2025. The 30-share BSE Sensex fell 67.92 points to start the session at 82,946.04; the Nifty was down by 13.4 points to open at 25,410.20. In the last trading session, the Sensex closed at 83,013.96 and the Nifty 50 at 25,423.60. However, the broader indices traded in green in the opening session. While the BSE Midcap was up 41.83 points, or 0.09 per cent, in the early trading session, the BSE Smallcap index added 65.30 points, or 0.12 per cent, to trade at 54,598.05.
From the Sensex pack, Adani Ports, Infosys, Maruti, Hindustan Unilever, and NTPC were among the major gainers, with Adani Ports leading the pack by jumping over 2 per cent in the early trade today. On the other hand, Mahindra & Mahindra, Bajaj Finance, Bharti Airtel, ICICI Bank, and State Bank of India were among the laggards, with M&M shedding around 1.15 per cent in the opening trade.

“For day traders, the higher bottom support is placed near 25,300/82700. We are of the view that as long as the market trades above this level, the bullish sentiment is likely to continue. On the higher side, 25,500/83300 would act as an immediate resistance zone for the bulls. A successful breakout above 25,500/83300 could push the market up to 25,600–25,625/83500-83600. On the flip side, if the market falls below 25,300-25270/82700-82600, the uptrend would become vulnerable. Below this level, traders may prefer to exit their long positions,” Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
