Nifty trades below 24,800 level; pharma shares tumble
The headline equity benchmarks traded with moderate cuts after President Trump announced a 100% tariff on branded drug imports starting from 1 Oct 2025, pressuring pharma stocks despite generics being exempt.

The Nifty traded below the 24,800 level. Pharma shares extended losses for the fifth consecutive trading sessions.

At 10:30 IST, the barometer index, the S&P BSE Sensex, declined 288.20 points or 0.36% to 80,871.48. The Nifty 50 index lost 93.53 points or 0.39% to 24,797.35.

The broader market underperformed the frontline indices. The S&P BSE Mid-Cap index slipped 0.72% and the S&P BSE Small-Cap index tumbled 0.99%.

The market breadth was weak. On the BSE, 1,123 shares rose and 2,545 shares fell. A total of 196 shares were unchanged.

Buzzing Index:

The Nifty Pharma index dropped 1.47% to 21,653.55 . The index slumped 4.55% in the five consecutive trading sessions.

Pharma stocks crash after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on imports of branded or patented drugs from October 1 unless manufacturers begin setting up plants in the U.S. While branded and patented drugs face steep levies, generic formulations have been spared. This exemption comes as a relief for Indian pharma generic majors, which rely heavily on U.S. exports of low-cost generics.
