Solar Industries, Bharat Electronics, and CG Power Shares Plunge Up to 10% Amid Market Volatility
· Business · LiveMint, Economic Times
Indian equities faced pressure on Tuesday due to concerns over crude oil prices and global bond yields ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting. Solar Industries’ shares dropped up to 10.16% after surging to a 52-week high, following its announcement of a $1.355 billion acquisition of South Africa’s Omnia Holdings. Despite Bharat Electronics’ defence deals boosting potential growth, its stock fell amid broader market weakness. Brent crude’s rise to $107 and Houthi attacks on Saudi pipelines further exacerbated investor sentiment, dragging down benchmarks Nifty 50 and Sensex despite gains in IT stocks and HDFC Bank.
