The Indian stock market witnessed a sharp sell‑off in Monday’s session on May 11, 2026, as investor sentiment weakened significantly. The NIFTY 50 ended at 23,815.85, falling 360.30 points or 1.49%, reflecting broad‑based risk aversion.
Markets came under pressure after hopes of a near‑term peace deal in West Asia faded, leading to a sharp rebound in crude oil prices. Additional selling emerged in realty and consumer durable stocks following remarks by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging a series of corrective measures.
The benchmark index opened lower and extended losses through the session as global and domestic concerns weighed on sentiment. Rising crude oil prices reignited inflationary worries, impacting rate‑sensitive and discretionary sectors.
Selling pressure was particularly visible in consumer durables, aviation and financial stocks. Although selective FMCG and healthcare names offered support, they were insufficient to offset the broad decline.

Aviation stocks underperformed due to higher fuel cost concerns, impacting IndiGo. In contrast, FMCG and healthcare stocks showed relative resilience, supported by gains in Tata Consumer Products, Hindustan Unilever and Max Healthcare.
