Domestic institutional investors remained net sellers for the second straight session as they offloaded equities worth approximately Rs 1,874 crore, the data showed.

India's benchmark indices initially opened sharply lower due to US airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, sparking Middle East escalation fears. However, markets recovered strongly throughout the day as Brent crude prices eased, global risk sentiment stabilized, and volatility remained low.
The Nifty 50, after hitting an intraday low of 24,824, rebounded over 200 points to 25,057, before ultimately closing at 24,971.90, down 0.56%. The BSE Sensex ended 0.61% lower at 81,907.15.
