At 9:30 AM IST, the Sensex was down 4 points, or 0.01%, at 84,909, while the Nifty slipped slightly by 0.4 points to settle at 25,940.
Market breadth reflected a balanced sentiment, with 1,730 stocks advancing compared to 1,115 decliners, while 108 shares remained unchanged.

Delta Corp’s stock also made headlines, soaring more than 8% following the announcement of its plan to demerge its hospitality and real estate businesses into a new entity, Delta Penland Private Limited (DPPL).
This strategic move aims to unlock value and create enhanced growth opportunities for both sectors.
Conversely, shares of EaseMyTrip experienced a decline of over 6% to ₹38.48 following a block deal in which promoters offloaded a 2.6% stake, valued at ₹176.5 crore.
Approximately 4.6 crore shares changed hands at a marginal discount to the previous closing price, underscoring the ongoing fluctuations in the travel sector.
