Nse turnover slides to two-year low as investors weigh uncertain returns
By Kairavi Lukka | Dec 17, 2025
Average daily turnover on the NSE fell to ₹90,076 crore in December, the lowest since November 2023, even as the Sensex and Nifty set record highs earlier in the month. Underperformance in mid- and small-caps and unusually low volatility have curbed activity from retail traders and HNIs, pressuring brokerage revenues.
