Mumbai | July 22 – Indian equity benchmarks ended Tuesday’s session with minor losses, weighed down by continued weakness in Reliance Industries, while gains in banking and select heavyweights helped limit broader downside.
The Nifty 50 slipped 0.12% to close at 25,060, while the Sensex edged 0.02% lower to end at 82,212, as markets remain cautious amid uncertainty over the India-US interim trade deal and its potential tariff impact.
Broader markets also remained subdued, with the Nifty Midcap 100 down 0.20% and the Nifty Smallcap 100 shedding 0.30%, reflecting cautious participation in the absence of fresh triggers.

Rupee, FII Flows, and IPO Buzz
The Indian rupee ended steady at ₹85.40/USD, while FII outflows continued, with provisional data indicating net selling worth ₹700 crore on Tuesday. DIIs remained net buyers, cushioning some downside pressure. The IPO market remained active, with Paytm gaining 3.30% ahead of its Q1 results today and strong activity in SME IPO listings maintaining primary market momentum.
