The 50-share NSE Nifty settled lower by 67.55 points or 0.27 per cent to 25,082.30.
Sensex has dropped nearly 1,460 points or 1.75 per cent and Nifty by 440 points or 1.73 per cent in the four days of fall since July 9.
Among Sensex firms, Asian Paints fell the most by 1.58 per cent. Tech Mahindra, Bajaj Finance, Infosys, HCL Tech, Tata Consultancy Services, Larsen & Toubro and Tata Motors were among the laggards.
However, Eternal, Titan, Mahindra & Mahindra and ITC were among the gainers.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 5,104.22 crore on Friday, according to exchange data.
The broader indices, however, outperformed the benchmark, with midcap and smallcap indices gaining between 0.71 per cent and 1.04 per cent.
"Consolidation continued in the domestic market as the tariff headlines and a subdued start to the earnings season are influencing investors to be more sensitive with valuation trading at 3 yrs high level,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments, said.
However, stock-specific action continues with sector-wise pick-up in healthcare, realty, consumer & discretionary, while IT remains the laggard due to the risk of earnings downgrades in FY26, Nair added.

Tejas Networks Q1 results: Weak demand leads to ₹194 cr consolidated loss
Domestic telecom gear maker Tejas Networks posted a consolidated loss of Rs 193.87 crore in the first quarter ended June 2025, mainly due to a decline in sales, the company filing said on Monday. The company, which supplied 4G gears to state-owned BSNL, had posted a profit of Rs 77.48 crore a year ago. The consolidated revenue of Tejas Networks plunged about 87 per cent to Rs 202 crore during the reported quarter from Rs 1,563 crore in the June 2024 quarter. "We won orders for our routers for Bharatnet Phase 3 and optical equipment from private operators in India. Our shortfall in revenue was due to delays in the receipt of a few purchase orders, including the expansion order from BSNL," Tejas Networks COO Arnob Roy said in a statement. Tejas Networks chief financial officer Sumit Dhingra said a net loss of Rs 194 crore was largely due to lower revenue. "We ended the quarter with an order book of Rs 1,241 crore, representing a quarter-over-quarter growth of 22 per cent. With the award of the expansion order of 18,685 sites of BSNL 4G to TCS, we expect to receive the corresponding PO (purchase order) for supply of RAN equipment worth Rs 1,526 crore," he said.

Tesla's Mumbai showroom opening almost here: Why did its India debut take years?
Elon Musk-founded Tesla is all set to open the doors of its first-ever showroom in India. The EV maker is scheduled to inaugurate its showroom in Mumbai on Tuesday, July 15. The store is located at Bandra Kurla Complex, the city's leading commercial business district, according to an invite sent to media houses. Tesla also operates a service and warehouse centre that is located around six kilometres away from the showroom. Over the past few months, the company has been importing vehicles, chargers, and other accessories worth over $1 million into India from China and the US, according to a report by Reuters. Based on documents, the report said that the import shipments included six of Tesla's best-selling Model Y. Hence, these cars can be expected to be on display at the showroom. Over three dozen people have reportedly been hired to work at the Tesla experience centre in Mumbai, including board store managers as well as sales and service executives. It has also advertised for vacancies for supply chain engineers and vehicle operators responsible for collecting data for its autopilot feature. Tuesday's inauguration officially marks Tesla's entry into the world's third-largest car market. It comes at a time when the EV maker is grappling with declining sales in key markets like China. It is also facing issues with excess manufacturing capacity. Since Tesla will be selling imported cars in India, it will reportedly need to pay about 70% import duty and other levies. CEO Elon Musk has previously complained about India's high import tariffs. Additionally, the showroom has received clearance from the authorities. 'A trade certificate has been granted to Tesla India following due inspection of the facilities mentioned in their application,' a senior Regional Transport Office (RTO) official was quoted as saying by PTI. 'This includes the showroom, vehicle parking area and warehousing facility,' they added. Meanwhile, a newly created Tesla India handle on X posted: 'Coming soon'. Coming soon — Tesla India (@Tesla_India) July 11, 2025 In 2016, Musk had announced that pre-bookings for its Model 3 would be available for customers from many countries outside North America, including India. Soon, many customers in India put up a refundable deposit of $1000 (approx. Rs 85,000 at current exchange rate). Earlier this year, the company initiated refunds to those who had paid the reservation fee as the Model 3 has now been discontinued. 'We would like to return your reservation fee for the time being. When we finalize our offerings in India, we will reach out in the market again. We hope to see you back with us once we are ready to launch and deliver in your country,' Tesla said in emails to the early bookers, according to a report by Bloomberg. Tesla has long expressed interest in India. However, its plans to start commercial operations in the country were delayed due to government policies and import duty concerns. Once the world's top EV seller, Tesla is facing increased competition from Chinese EV makers, particularly BYD, as global EV sales growth has tapered. BYD is said to have an edge in terms of auto technology as well as pricing. It reported sales of over 318,000 passenger vehicles in February, up over 150 per cent from a year earlier, and the Chinese company's Hong Kong-listed shares are already up nearly 50 per cent this year. Meanwhile, Tesla shares have been tanking, falling close to 15 per cent and erasing around $150 billion in market value. The feud between Musk and US President Donald Trump has reportedly had a significant bearing on the company's stock market performance. Without the most influential American's political backing behind its founder gone, Tesla could also run into headwinds in the US. The central government has been wooing Tesla to manufacture locally for several years now. In a bid to attract the carmaker, the PM Modi-led government introduced a new policy that offered companies a reduced duty of 15 per cent if they set up manufacturing locally and committed to investing $500 million in India. In June this year, Union Heavy Industries Minister H D Kumaraswamy said that global EV makers like Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen-Škoda, Hyundai and Kia have shown interest in applying under the ministry's flagship Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars in India. However, Tesla is not keen on manufacturing in India, the minister said. This comes amid some political pressure, with President Trump stating that it would be unfair to the US if Tesla were to circumvent tariffs imposed by India by building a factory in this country. Kumaraswamy had said that Tesla is planning to open two retail stores in India, including the Mumbai one. It is unclear where the company is looking to launch the second showroom in the country. According to LinkedIn posts, Tesla has invited job applications for store managers in Delhi.
