Top Gainers and Losers in the Market on 13 March 2025

On March 13, 2025, equity benchmarks experienced a downward trend as markets struggled to hold their ground, even in the face of positive economic signals. The Sensex, a major market index, declined by 200.85 points, or 0.27%, closing under the 74,000 mark at 73,828.91.

Nonetheless, he noted that India is showing resilience and achieving healthy outperformance despite this slight negative trend.

Leading the market gains was the State Bank of India (SBIN), which saw a rise of 0.67%, closing at ₹727.75. This increase was fueled by robust investor interest in banking stocks. Following closely was ICICI Bank, which witnessed a rise of 0.62%, finishing the day at ₹1,250.25.

Additionally, NTPC saw a gain of 0.48%, closing at ₹331.70, supported by steady demand in the power sector. Sun Pharma added 0.45% to reach ₹1,683.85, while Tata Steel rounded out the top gainers with a 0.37% increase, closing at ₹150.85.

Top Losers

On the losing side, Zomato emerged as the biggest laggard, dropping by 1.97% to ₹201.40, largely due to profit booking actions taken by investors. Tata Motors also faced a decline of 1.95%, closing at ₹655.40.

Other notable losers included IndusInd Bank, which fell by 1.84% to end the day at ₹672.10, and Asian Paints, which decreased by 0.98%, closing at ₹2,228.95. Bajaj Finance recorded a slight loss as well, shedding 0.94% to finish at ₹8,410.00.

This decline in the market was primarily led by selling pressures within the auto and financial sectors, although the banking and power stocks managed to provide some support amidst the prevailing conditions.
