Shares of Gujarat Energy, Rajesh Exports and nine other Nifty 500 companies fell as much as 60% in 2026, marking a sharp market correction.
Shares of Gujarat Energy and Rajesh Exports, together with nine other constituents of the Nifty 500 index, slumped up to 60% during 2026, according to market data reported by The Economic Times. The steep decline was observed across multiple sectors, indicating a broad-based correction rather than an isolated company issue.
Analysts attribute the tumble to a combination of heightened market volatility, tightening monetary conditions and a reassessment of earnings expectations for many listed firms. The simultaneous fall of ten large‑cap stocks amplified the impact on the overall index, pushing it lower in the closing sessions.
Investors holding positions in the affected companies are likely to review their portfolios, with some possibly considering exits or hedging strategies to mitigate further losses. The episode underscores the importance of diversification and close monitoring of market trends in a rapidly changing economic environment.
