Top developments
Sensex tanks 1,248 points on September 24; all sectors in the red
On Thursday, September 24, the Sensex plunged 1,247.71 points (1.67%) to 73,580.54 and the Nifty 50 fell 383.70 points (1.64%) to 23,063.10 — the trading day's crash was driven by weak global cues, a steep rise in US bond yields and surging crude oil prices. All sectoral indices ended in the red, with Nifty Private Bank down 2.2%, Nifty Metal down 1.9% and Nifty Bank down 1.7%; big Nifty losers included Bajaj Finance, HDFC Life, Bajaj Finserv and Axis Bank, while Cipla and NTPC gained. The crash matters for the daily close narrative because it pushed the Nifty below the key 23,100 psychological level and set the tone for the week's final sessions.
Seventh straight weekly loss — longest since the 2020 Covid crash
The Sensex and Nifty ended lower for a seventh consecutive week on Friday, September 26, remaining under pressure despite the day's recovery. According to Business Standard, this is the Nifty's longest weekly losing streak since the Covid-19 crash of 2020; Brent crude's 11% weekly plunge and hardening 10-year bond yields weighed on insurance stocks, and PB Fintech cratered 33% on IRDAI reform fears. This underscores that the daily closes remain hostage to crude, yields and regulatory headlines.
Friday recovery: Sensex up 315 points, Nifty at 23,140
On September 25, the Sensex gained 315 points and the Nifty 50 rose 0.34% to close at 23,140.50, with Axis Bank leading gainers (up 3%, Asian Paints 2%); the rupee closed at 95.80/$ and softening crude plus hopes of a US-Iran agreement lifted sentiment. India VIX stood at 12.18, with 34 of 50 Nifty stocks advancing. However, FIIs remained net sellers of ₹3,694 crore in the cash segment and held a net short index-futures position of 3,12,001 contracts — a confident bearish stance that keeps the recovery fragile.
SEBI board approves new PMS rules: IPOs, foreign securities, and PRIM route
SEBI's board approved a new regulatory framework for portfolio managers, allowing PMS clients' money to be invested in IPOs and foreign securities, and introduced the PRIM route to ease investments into mutual fund units via the portfolio manager route. The changes, approved in the board meeting reported around September 24-25, open several new investment avenues for wealthy investors and simplify fund flows between the PMS and mutual fund ecosystems. This is the week's key regulatory move and could redirect significant domestic capital into primary markets and MF schemes.
Record September for IPOs: ₹38,785 crore raised
Despite heavy secondary-market selling, the primary market broke records — Indian companies raised ₹38,785 crore via IPOs in September 2026, per Whalesbook. Separately, the mainboard IPO pipeline has swelled to around ₹3.86 lakh crore, roughly 3.5 times the funds raised in 2026 so far through 84 mainboard IPOs. The NSE IPO, 2026's biggest issue at ₹22,562 crore, was subscribed over 2x with GMP signalling an ~4% listing pop at its September 24 listing. The primary-market strength contrasts sharply with the benchmark indices' weekly losing streak.
Local view
Hindi-language media framed the week around the "storm of decline." ETV Bharat reported that crude oil's surge burned Dalal Street on September 24, with 29 of the Sensex's 30 blue-chips closing in the red as the index shed 1,248 points and the Nifty shut below 23,100. A day later, ETV Bharat's closing bell noted the rebound — Sensex up 315 points and Nifty back above 23,140 on crude softness and US-Iran deal hopes. Navbharat Times highlighted that at Friday's opening, 21 of the Sensex's 30 stocks were in the green.
