On Monday, Indian stock markets experienced a significant decline, with benchmark indices closing lower amid weak global signals and geopolitical tensions. The Nifty index approached critical support levels near 23,000, raising concerns about a potential drop toward the 22,500–22,800 range. Key stocks in focus included NLC India, which announced an offer for sale to divest up to 3% of its stake, starting with a base offer of 2% equity. Motilal Oswal Financial Services saw two charitable entities sell shares worth approximately ₹153 crore, with HDFC Life Insurance Company as the buyer. HCL Tech launched an AI Innovation Zone in partnership with Google Cloud, aimed at scaling AI applications. In a significant ruling, the Bombay High Court quashed the Centre's decision to impose a one-time spectrum charge on Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea, providing relief to these telecom firms. Additionally, due to a shortage of commercial liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, IRCTC has resumed cooking meals inside trains using electric induction stoves, a practice phased out previously.
