Indian stock market falls amid fresh US tariff threats, selling in IT stock
Sensex closed at 82,253.46, down 247.01 points or 0.30 per cent against last session's closing of 82,500.47.
The 30-share index opened in green at Rs 82,537.87; however, the index fell to touch an intraday low at 82,010.38, following selling in IT stocks like TCS, Tech Mahindra and others.
Nifty settled at 25,082.30, down 67.55 points or 0.27 per cent.
TCS, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, Asian Paints, HCL Tech, Reliance Industries, Bajaj Finance, Tata Motors, and Kotak Bank were the top losers from the Sensex basket.
While Eternal, Adani Ports, Titan, Mahindra and Mahindra ITC were settled in green.
Meanwhile, from Nifty, 22 stocks advanced, 27 declined, and one remained unchanged.
"The decline was primarily driven by renewed global trade tensions, as the US announced its intention to impose a 30 per cent tariff on most imports from the EU and Mexico, starting August 1, despite ongoing negotiations," said Sundar Kewat from Ashika Institutional Equity.
In contrast, lacklustre trading in heavyweights, Nifty Smallcap 100 and Nifty Midcap 100 rallied significantly among broader indices. Nifty Smallcap 100 rose 1.02 per cent or 191.50 points, and Nifty Midcap 100 closed 410.35 points or 0.70 per cent high.
Nifty IT fell 419 points or 1.11 per cent, while Nifty Auto, Nifty FMCG, and Nifty Bank settled in positive territory.
The Indian rupee depreciated following fresh tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.
"These threats have escalated global trade tensions, leading to increased risk aversion among investors and subsequently weighing down other Asian currencies as well," said Dilip Parmar from HDFC Securities.
Rupak De from LKP Securities said participants are awaiting CPI data from both India and the US, which is further dampening overall sentiment.
Technically, the index slipped towards 25,000 on an intra-day basis, which is very close to the 50-DMA. On the lower end, support is placed at 24,900–24,950. If this zone holds, a rally towards 25,350 looks possible. However, failure to sustain above 24,900 may trigger a deeper phase of correction,' he noted.

Allcargo Terminals to raise Rs 38.28 cr through issuance of 1.32 cr fully convertible warrants
Multimodal logistics operator Allcargo Terminals Ltd (ATL) on Tuesday said it plans to raise Rs 38.28 crore through the issuance of up to 1.32 crore fully convertible warrants to the promoters/promoter group. ADVERTISEMENT The proposed fundraise, which will kickstart ATL's three-year expansion plans, will be utilised for building capacity and setting up new container freight stations (CFS) and inland container depots (ICDs), the company said. An Allcargo group firm, ATL, specializes in CFS and ICD with pan-India presence, serving diverse logistical requirements at strategic locations such as JNPT, Mundra, Chennai, and Kolkata. "The Board of Directors of ATL has approved the preferential allotment in its meeting held on July 15, 2025," Allcargo Terminals said. "As India's logistics sector undergoes structural transformation, ATL is well positioned to scale up operational capacity while remaining capital-efficient and growth-focussed, creating sustainable value for all stakeholders," said Shashi Kiran Shetty, Founder and Chairman, Allcargo Group. Each warrant has a face value of Rs 2 per share, will be issued at an issue price of Rs 29 per warrant with a premium of Rs 27 per warrant, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, it stated. ADVERTISEMENT This issuance accounts for approximately 5 per cent of ATL's post-conversion equity share capital and is priced at around 1 per cent premium to the SEBI-defined floor price, as per the company. ATL said its current capacity stands at 8.3-lakh TEUs annually across seven facilities in five hubs that handle approximately 80 per cent of India's EXIM trade. ADVERTISEMENT ATL plans to augment its capacity to over 13-lakh in the coming three years -- by expanding some of its key facilities and by developing new CFS/ICD facilities, the company said. This strategic move is in line with ATL's long-term growth roadmap and will support the company's multi-location infrastructure expansion at Mundra and Nhava Sheva, Greenfield ICD at Farukhnagar and infra upgrades at existing facilities, ATL said. ADVERTISEMENT Currently operating at 80-85 per cent capacity utilisation, the expansion plans will enable the company to cater to future demand and consolidate its leading position in key logistics corridors, the company said. "This expansion comes at a time when our core facilities are operating near full capacity. The proposed expansion in Mundra and Nhava Sheva, greenfield ICD at Farukhnagar and infra upgrades at existing facilities are aligned to strengthen our multimodal footprint," said Suresh Kumar R, Managing Director, Allcargo Terminals Ltd.
