Top Gainers and Losers on December 8, 2025: Tech Mahindra and Kaynes Technology in Focus
The Nifty 50 closed at 25,960.55 on December 8, down 225.90 points or 0.86% from the previous session. The index witnessed broad-based selling across sectors, with aviation, defence and high-valuation stocks under pressure.
IT and select financial counters managed to stay resilient despite overall weakness. Trading activity remained elevated, driven by substantial volumes in technology, aviation and defence stocks.
Market Overview
Indian markets have responded positively to the Reserve Bank of India’s recent 25 bps rate cut, which came despite strong Q2 GDP data. The move, combined with lower inflation forecasts and liquidity measures, has triggered a risk-on sentiment across equities.
Rate-sensitive sectors such as autos, real estate and NBFCs have led gains in recent sessions. However, profit-booking emerged today in several heavyweight counters, pulling the Nifty 50 lower.

Weakness in Aviation and Defence Stocks Dragged the Index
