Indian equity markets opened lower on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, as rising crude oil prices and caution ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s policy decision weighed on investor sentiment. At 9:15 a.m. IST, the BSE Sensex fell 0.47% to 73,253.44, while the NSE Nifty 50 declined 0.32% to 22,678.
Information technology stocks led the early losses, while gains in select stocks following quarterly earnings announcements helped limit the decline.
