Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty were trading lower in early trade on Tuesday (November 4, 2025) amid continued outflow of foreign funds and weak trend in Asian markets.
The 30-share BSE Sensex fell 55 points to 83,923.48 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty fell 40.95 points to 25,722.40.
Among Sensex companies, Power Grid, Eternal, HCL Tech, Maruti, Tata Motors and Infosys were major laggards.

According to exchange data, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold equities worth ₹1,883.78 crore on Monday (November 3). However, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) bought stocks worth ₹3,516.36 crore in previous trade.
VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Ltd, said, “Fresh selling by FIIs is restraining the market rally. During the last four days, FIIs have sold equities worth Rs 14,269 crore. This is a sign that they will continue selling on rallies. High valuations and weak earnings growth in India are restraining FIIs who are more focused on cheaper markets with better earnings growth.”
In Asian markets, South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index and Shanghai’s SSE Composite index were lower, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index was trading in positive territory.
On Monday (November 3), US markets closed mostly on the rise.
