The Indian stock market opened lower on March 27, 2025, at 9:30 AM IST, reflecting global trade anxieties and cautious investor sentiment. The Nifty 50 opened at 23,433.95, down 0.23%, while the BSE Sensex started at 77,087.39, declining by 0.26%.
The downturn followed overnight declines in U.S. markets and the recent announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump of a 25% tariff on auto imports, which weighed heavily on auto and banking stocks in India.
All 13 major sectoral indices opened in the red, led by a 1.4% drop in the Nifty Auto index. Analysts attributed the fall to weak global cues and escalating concerns over the impact of U.S. tariffs on Indian auto exports.
As of the previous close, the total market capitalization of BSE-listed companies stood at ₹409.08 lakh crore (~$4.76 trillion).
Overnight, Wall Street ended in the red as investors reacted to new tariff developments. Asian markets opened mixed with similar caution. U.S. President Donald Trump’s move to enforce tariffs on auto imports by April 2 has sparked fears of a trade war escalation, dampening sentiment globally.
Market experts forecast continued volatility, especially ahead of the monthly derivatives expiry. Traders are advised to adopt a wait-and-watch strategy as global economic indicators evolve.
