Other group stocks, including Adani Energy Solutions, Adani Green Energy, and Adani Enterprises, closed with losses ranging between 2% and 4%.

In another day of declines, tech stocks closed lower, with Coforge, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra falling up to 2.7% after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposed amending the existing lottery process to give greater weight to applications from employers offering higher wages if annual visa requests exceed the 85,000 limit, signaling the U.S. intention to slow the inflow of foreign workers.

Meanwhile, some stocks that had gained sharply in recent sessions came under pressure, with GMDC, Samvardhana Motherson International, and Netweb Technologies closing lower by 3.5%–3.7%.

Although broader market sentiment remained weak, some stocks managed to buck the trend. Tata Investment Corporation emerged as the top gainer among Nifty 500 stocks for the second consecutive session, rising 9% to ₹8,863 apiece, followed by Minda Corporation, which closed sharply higher by 8.3% at ₹579 per share.

Reversing its recent losses, Syrma SGS Technology rallied 5% to ₹858 apiece, while Shipping Corporation zoomed 4% to ₹232.8 after the Union Cabinet, in its meeting on Wednesday, September 24, approved a ₹69,725-crore plan for the shipbuilding and maritime sector.

The company had earlier announced signing MoUs with BPCL, Indian Oil, and HPCL, India’s state-run oil refiners, to build and operate a fleet together in support of the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” vision.

Himadri Speciality also saw its shares gain 3.6% to ₹467.85, while other stocks such as JSW Holdings, Premier Energies, City Union Bank, Kaynes Technology India, Pidilite Industries, and Indian Bank closed with gains of over 2–3.7%.
