NSE Composite Falls 1.8% Amid AI Sector Volatility (BSE:35)

Indian shares extended a losing trend on February 13, 2026, as jitters over the AI sector weighed on sentiment. The NSE Composite closed down 1.8% (-1.80%) at 46,234.55, while the BSE Sensex dipped 0.9% (-0.90%) to 48,762.35. Weaker-than-expected earnings from IT majors and broader volatility in tech stocks contributed to the decline. The AI sub-sector, particularly companies involved in generative AI and robotics, saw the steepest declines, reflecting heightened uncertainty about regulatory and demand-side risks. Trading volume rose to 1.2 billion shares, indicating heightened investor caution.
