most challenging months for Indian equities this year. After a relatively steady stretch earlier in the quarter, sentiment weakened sharply as global interest-rate expectations shifted, foreign flows turned negative, crude oil stayed firm, and the primary market continued to absorb a large share of investor liquidity. The result was a broad-based decline across indices, sectors, and several heavyweight stocks.\n  <\/p>\n  <p>\n    Yet the month was not defined by weakness alone. India\u2019s domestic economy continued to show resilience through strong GST collections, while the IPO market remained active with a steady pipeline of new listings. In other words, September was a month where macro pressure and market activity moved in opposite directions: listed equities struggled, but economic and capital-market momentum remained visible.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <!-- MARKET BENCHMARKS -->\n  <div class=\"mkt-h2\">\ud83d\udcca Benchmark Performance<\/div>\n  <div class=\"mkt-grid-2\">\n    <div class=\"mkt-card\">\n      <div class=\"mkt-card-title\">Nifty 50<\/div>\n      <div class=\"mkt-card-value\">22,620.45<\/div>\n      <div style=\"margin-top: 6px;\">\n        <span class=\"mkt-badge mkt-badge-red\">-6.03% Monthly<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"mkt-card\">\n      <div class=\"mkt-card-title\">BSE Sensex<\/div>\n      <div class=\"mkt-card-value\">72,480.29<\/div>\n      <div style=\"margin-top: 6px;\">\n        <span class=\"mkt-badge mkt-badge-red\">-5.82% Monthly<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p>\n    Both indices posted a second straight monthly decline, with September marking the weakest month since March.
