The Nifty 50 index declined 176.85 points to 25,122.50 following the release of domestic inflation data. According to the Dalal Street Investment Journal, the BSE Sensex also dropped approximately 0.7% to reach 81,468.97 points as markets reacted to the breach of price stability targets.

India's annual inflation rate reached 6.09% in October 2026, exceeding the forecast of 5.93% and the Reserve Bank of India's upper tolerance limit of 6%. Investor sentiment was dampened by rising food prices and geopolitical pressures on crude oil, which pushed headline inflation to a 14-month high compared to the 5.54% recorded on November 12, 2026.

The market is awaiting India's Balance of Trade data scheduled for release on November 16, 2026, with a forecast deficit of $32 billion. Meanwhile, technical levels for the Nifty 50 show immediate support positioned at 25,183 and 25,126 points.
