The Indian share market is trading lower on Friday, January 30, 2026, with the BSE Sensex down by 421.10 points (0.51%) and the NSE Nifty 50 down by 143.60 points (0.56%) as of mid-day trade. This decline is influenced by weak global cues and selling pressure in key sectors like IT and metals.

• Market Movement: The Nifty 50 and Sensex both started the day in negative territory, with most sectoral indices trading lower. The market saw minor recovery from early lows but remained under pressure, with the Nifty struggling around the 25,300 mark.
• Top Gainers and Losers: Major gainers included Maruti Suzuki, ITC, and Sun Pharma in earlier trade, while top losers featured Tata Steel, HCL Tech, and TCS. In later trade, some other stocks like L&T, NTPC and ONGC were also among the top gainers, while Vedanta and Hindustan Zinc saw significant declines in the metal sector.
• Sectoral Performance: Barring the FMCG sector, all other major sectoral indices were in the red, with significant selling pressure in metal and IT stocks. The BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices also saw declines.
• Company News:
  • Tata Motors shares were in focus after reporting strong Q3 revenue, though the commercial vehicle business saw a YoY profit fall.
