India’s BSE Sensex lost further ground to close about 2.3% lower at 73,583 on Friday, reversing the gains of the past two sessions. Lingering uncertainty around the Iran conflict and elevated crude oil prices intensified foreign outflows despite US President Donald Trump halting strikes on Iran's energy sites until April 6. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs lowered India’s GDP growth estimate for 2026 by 1.1 percentage points to 5.9% and raised its CPI forecast by 70 basis points, while also downgrading Indian equities from “overweight” to “market weight.” Most sectors saw selling pressure, with energy, airlines and financials experiencing the heaviest losses. Reliance Industries dropped 4.6% and IndiGo slipped 4.5%, directly reflecting the fuel cost pressure from elevated crude. Bucking the trend, defensive names like TCS (0.5%), Bharti Airtel (0.4%) and Power Grid (0.1%) posted slight gains. For the week, the index declined about 1.3%.
