India's benchmark equity indices, Sensex and Nifty50, traded lower on Monday, amid losses in banks, IT stocks and index heavyweight Reliance Industries. The across the board selling comes amid fears of reciprocal tariffs by US President Donald Trump, which are slated to come into effect on April 2, 2025.

The BSE Sensex was down by 1475 points (1.91%), trading at 75,940, while the Nifty50 lost 381 points (1.62%), reaching 23,138 around 1.30 PM.

"India outperformed most markets in March with a 6.3% return. FIIs turning buyers and the consequent short covering contributed to the rally. Can the rally continue, or will there be another downturn? This will depend mainly on what Trump announces in tariffs. If the tariffs are lower-than-feared there can be a rally in the market which will be led by externally linked sectors like pharmaceuticals and IT. On the other hand if the tariffs are severe, there can be another round of downturn in the market. Investors can wait and watch and respond after the details are known," said Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments.
