The Indian stock market ended this week with considerable losses in some large-cap and mid-cap stocks with the focus on IT and industrial stocks. The broad stock market was not going away but the most volatile stocks were affected by investor caution, profit-booking and weak global signals. Here are the top-five biggest losers of the week.
1.Infosys
Infosys fell 7.5% to ₹1,042.8 and ranked at the top of the losers list. Weak global IT demand and Accenture’s lowered revenue guidance raised concerns of a slowing technology spending pace were also behind the drop. Meanwhile, heavy foreign investor selling added to the pressure in the market.
2.Fertilizers & Chemicals Travancore (FACT)
FACT dropped 5.2% to ₹903.8. Rising input costs and a weak demand outlook have hit the fertilizer sector. Profit bookings after recent rallies were also contributing to the stock’s decline as investors were cautious about industrial stocks in the near future.
3.Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)
TCS slipped 5.0% to ₹2,092.8. The IT industry was in the same position as the rest of the sector, with investors booking profits after recent gains. Concerns about global tech spending and margin erosion from AI disruption added to the negative sentiment.
4. LTM Ltd
LTM Ltd. declined 4.9% to ₹3,803.2. The fall in shares of companies in software and services reflected a general weakening of the software and services sector as global volatility and cautious client spending dampened investor confidence.
5.KPR Mill
lost 4.5% to ₹1,132.9. The textile company suffered from low export demand and expensive inputs. Weakness in the apparel industry also contributed to the decline in India’s textile industry and the industry as a whole.
Market Context
IT sector pressures: Infosys, TCS and LTM led declines due to a global IT spending slowdown and investor caution.
Industrial Weakness: FACT’s fall showed the challenges in fertilizer and chemical companies under increasing costs.
Textile Strain: KPR Mill’s decline was a function of export demand issues and margin pressures in apparel manufacturing.
The week ending June 19, 2026 saw IT stocks dominate the losers list with Infosys and TCS leading the table in the list of losers. Fertilizers & Chemicals Travancore and KPR Mill contributed to the downturn, showing that uncertainty in the sector is a symptom of global demand trends, input costs and sector-specific risks that are a concern to be taken into account at the moment.
