Mumbai, September 2025 – Equity benchmarks closed almost flat on Tuesday as gains in auto and financial services stocks were offset by selling pressure in IT and FMCG counters.
Market Closing Snapshot

- Nifty 50: 25,169.50 (▼ 32.85 points, -0.13%)
Analysts said the indices traded in a narrow and volatile range ahead of the Nifty’s weekly expiry. A high wave candlestick pattern on the daily chart reflects consolidation and trader indecision.
