Sensex Falls 238 Points To 77,470, Midcaps And Strong Q1 Results Limit Market Losses

· Free Press Journal

Mumbai: Indian stock markets ended lower on Tuesday, but the weakness was mainly limited to heavyweight shares. Buying in midcap, automobile and non-banking finance company stocks helped prevent a broader decline.

The Sensex fell 238 points to close at 77,470, while the Nifty declined 51 points to 24,188. The Nifty Bank slipped 110 points to 57,835.

However, the Midcap index gained 186 points and ended at 62,988. More shares advanced than declined, showing that selling pressure was not widespread.

Heavyweights Drag

Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank were among the biggest drags on the benchmark indices. These companies carry significant weight in the indices, meaning their decline outweighed gains in several smaller stocks.

HDFC Bank was among the leading contributors to the Nifty’s fall. Despite strength in several sectors, the index failed to stay above the 24,200 level.

Auto Shares Rise

Automobile stocks attracted strong buying after Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor reported healthy Q1 FY27 results. Growth in profit, revenue and operating earnings improved sentiment across the sector.

Maruti Suzuki gained around 1 percent after announcing vehicle price increases of up to Rs 30,000. Investors expect the move to help the company manage costs and protect margins.

NBFCs Gain

Gold-financing companies also performed well. Manappuram Finance and Muthoot Finance rose between 3 percent and 4 percent amid buying across the non-banking finance sector.

M&M Financial Services surged over 8 percent following strong quarterly results. Shriram Finance emerged as the Nifty’s biggest gainer, while IndusInd Bank advanced nearly 3 percent before its earnings announcement.

Stock Movements

Data Patterns jumped nearly 7 percent after receiving a project worth approximately Rs 1,300 crore from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.

MTAR Technologies recovered sharply after hitting its lower circuit and eventually closed near its previous level.

Solar stocks remained under pressure. Waaree and Premier Energies dropped around 4 percent each following developments related to the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers.

How SA’s biggest ever jackpot compares to the world’s biggest payouts

· The South African

A R232 million PowerBall win is the biggest lottery prize paid out in South African history, but next to the biggest lottery jackpots the world has ever seen, it’s genuinely modest.

Visit afsport.lat for more information.

Set next to the largest jackpots ever paid out globally, it barely registers, and the actual numbers are hard to believe.

The world’s biggest lottery jackpot dwarfs South Africa’s

The world’s biggest lottery jackpot is $2.04 billion (roughly R33.6 billion), won on a single Powerball ticket in California in November 2022.

The winner’s lump sum alone, about $997.6 million (roughly R16.4 billion) after tax, still converts to more than 70 times South Africa’s record.

Other giants far ahead of our record

Mega Millions paid out $1.602 billion (roughly R26.4 billion) in August 2023 to a single Florida ticket.

EuroMillions has repeatedly hit its €250 million (roughly R4.7 billion) cap.

Even Italy’s SuperEnalotto reached €371.1 million (roughly R7 billion) in 2023, still around 30 times South Africa’s record on its own.

Why the gap?

Larger population sizes, higher ticket prices, and uncapped rollovers let US jackpots climb into the billions before anyone wins.

Compared to the biggest lottery jackpots ever won, South Africa’s Lotto and PowerBall are comparatively modest.

Smaller entry fees, smaller pools, and jackpots rarely reach the hundreds of millions mark.

I think R232 million still sounds like an enormous, dream-worthy number, especially next to South Africa’s other biggest Lotto winners.

South Africa’s biggest lottery jackpot was won in February 2019, when a Cape Town man claimed a staggering R232 131 750 in the PowerBall with a R22.50 ticket.

The anonymous man who bought his ticket at an OK Mini Mart in Tygerdal.
