Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why did the market fall so sharply on September 26, 2025?
The market saw sharp selling pressure, particularly after 1 PM, with Nifty and BankNifty closing near their day's lows. This was primarily driven by heavy selling from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), who were net sellers of ₹5,687.58 Crore.
What does the significant increase in VIX (Volatility Index) indicate?
The India VIX jumped by 5.96% to 11.4250. An increase in the VIX signals a rise in market fear and the expectation of higher volatility (more frequent and larger price swings) in the immediate future, which is typical during sharp market downturns.
How did FII and DII trading activity influence the market?
FIIs were heavy net sellers (₹5,687.58 Cr), leading the downward trend. However, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) provided strong countervailing support by being massive net buyers (₹5,843.21 Cr). DII buying substantially cushioned the market, resulting in a minor net positive total inflow (₹155.63 Cr) despite the steep price fall.
