NIFTY 50 Down Over 1% on May 11; Titan, SBI, IndiGo and More in Red

NIFTY 50 witnessed sharp selling pressure during early trade on May 11, 2026, with the benchmark index falling 302.25 points or 1.25% to trade at ₹23,873.90. 

The index opened at ₹23,970.10 and touched an intraday high of ₹23,986.80 before slipping to a low of ₹23,864.10. Market breadth remained significantly negative, with only 7 stocks advancing while 43 declined within the NIFTY 50 pack.

Titan Emerges Top Loser

Titan Company Limited was among the biggest losers in early trade, falling 6.69% to ₹4,207.50. The stock witnessed strong selling pressure after opening at ₹4,350.40 and slipping to an intraday low of ₹4,205.10.

The decline in Titan weighed heavily on the consumer and retail segment, contributing significantly to the benchmark’s weakness.

Aviation and Banking Stocks Under Pressure

InterGlobe Aviation Limited, which operates IndiGo, declined nearly 4% to ₹4,344.40. The aviation stock remained under pressure amid broader market weakness and cautious investor sentiment.

Among banking stocks, State Bank of India dropped 3.45% to ₹984.10 after touching an intraday low of ₹983.30. The weakness in financial stocks also affected overall market sentiment.

Shriram Finance Limited declined 3.40% to ₹973.50, adding to pressure on the financial services segment.

Select Stocks Defy Market Weakness

Despite the broader decline, a few stocks managed to trade in positive territory. Max Healthcare Institute Limited gained 1.04% to ₹1,023.05, supported by buying interest in healthcare stocks.

Tata Consumer Products Limited emerged as one of the top gainers, rising 5.57% to ₹1,241.70, reflecting strong investor interest in defensive consumption-focused companies.

Conclusion

The Indian equity market started the session on a weak note, with widespread selling across banking, aviation, and consumer stocks dragging the NIFTY 50 lower. While selective buying was visible in healthcare and consumer staples, overall sentiment remained cautious as declining stocks heavily outnumbered advancing shares in early trade.
