INDIA STOCK Market Panic: Smallcaps HIT With Devastating Losses

12 May 2025 — India’s smallcap and midcap stocks just faced their worst crash since the Covid lockdowns. In February 2025, more than 175 small companies saw double-digit losses. The BSE Smallcap index dropped by 14%, and the Nifty Midcap 100 fell almost 11%. Panic selling and weak earnings fueled the drop, with Natco Pharma alone crashing over 34%.

The sell-off has erased ₹25 lakh crore in value from public sector companies since August. Over 240 smallcaps have lost more than half their value from recent highs, leaving many investors hurting. Even strong defense and railway stocks took a beating.

Experts say high prices, poor earnings, slower economic growth, rising U.S. bond yields, and foreign investors moving money to China all played a part in this mess. Minister Piyush Goyal called it a “wake-up call” for advisors who failed to warn regular investors about these risks.

Market analysts remind people that corrections like this do happen but urge caution going forward. Investment advisor Mihir Vora said if stocks have fallen by half, they are now much cheaper — hinting that careful buyers might find good deals or clean up their portfolios now.

As markets react to these changes, people are split on whether tough trade rules will help or hurt in the end. Many conservatives believe Trump is finally standing up for American workers who have been ignored for too long by global deals that put them last.;
