Indian equity benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty, started on a flat note on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, amid mixed global cues. While the 30-share BSE Sensex fell 12.6 points to start the session at 82,147.37, the Nifty gained 6.65 points to open at 25,209. In the last trading session, the Sensex closed at 82,159.97 and the Nifty 50 at 25,202.35. The broader indices traded in the red in the opening session. While the BSE Midcap was up by 46.04 points, or 0.10 per cent, in the early trading session, the BSE Smallcap index gained 32.33 points, or 0.06 per cent, to trade at 54,265.96.
From the Sensex pack, Maruti, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Steel, Adani Ports, and Bajaj Finserv were among the major gainers, with Maruti leading the pack by jumping over 1.91 per cent in the early trade today. On the other hand, Sun Pharma, Asian Paint, Eternal, Trent, and Bharti Airtel were among the laggards, with Sun Pharma shedding over 0.53 per cent in the opening trade.

“We believe that as long as the market trades above 25300/82500, weak sentiment is likely to persist. On the downside, it could fall to 25150-25050/82000-81700. On the other hand, 25300/82500 would act as a key resistance area for day traders. If the market manages to trade above this level, it could move towards 25,400–25,425/82800–83000. Current market conditions are volatile; therefore, level-based trading would be the ideal strategy for day traders,” Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
