September rout hits Nifty with worst monthly fall in 8 years
In short
The Nifty had its worst monthly fall in eight years and its worst series drop since 2001 in September. NSE-listed stocks had a market value of ₹467 lakh crore in September 2026, down from ₹469 lakh crore in June 2026.
This means Indian shares lost value over the period, but the report does not say what caused the fall or whether the slide continued after September.
What the reporting says
The Nifty posted its worst monthly fall in eight years and its worst series drop since 2001 during the September rout. NSE-listed market capitalisation stood at ₹467 lakh crore in September 2026, down from ₹469 lakh crore in June 2026. The immediate consequence is weaker market value, but the reporting does not give the percentage fall or the cause of the decline.
Why it matters
The September rout pushed the Nifty to its worst monthly fall in eight years and its worst series drop since 2001. NSE-listed stocks had a market capitalisation of ₹467 lakh crore in September 2026 versus ₹469 lakh crore in June 2026. The reporting shows a broad market value decline, but it does not state the trigger, the size of the index move, or how other assets reacted.
