India Market Update: Oil ka price bhaga, AI se IT stocks mein tehalka!
Overview

Arre bhai, Indian markets par aaj kal kaafi pressure hai. Ek taraf toh Middle East mein jo tensions chal rahi hain, uski wajah se crude oil ke prices bhag gaye hain, jisse foreign investors shares bech rahe hain aur apna rupee bhi kamzor ho raha hai. Doosri taraf, yeh Artificial Intelligence (AI) ka jo scene chal raha hai, usse hamare vital IT sector ke stocks ki valuations par bhi badi girawat aa gayi hai.

Sabse pehle toh yeh Middle East mein jo chal raha hai na, usse crude oil ke prices ekdum bhaag gaye hain. March 13, 2026 tak Brent futures $92 per barrel ke aas paas pahunch gaye. Isse inflation ki chinta aur badh gayi hai, kyunki February 2026 mein India ka CPI 3.21% par pahuncha tha jo 11 mahine ka high tha. Is sab ka asar ye hua ki foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) ne March ke pehle 8 dinon mein hi lagbhag ₹45,000 crore market se nikal liye, jo ki January 2025 ke baad sabse bada outflow hai. Isi wajah se apna Indian Rupee bhi record low par aa gaya, lagbhag ₹92.47 per US dollar ke rate par trade ho raha hai. Is sab ka natiza ye hua ki benchmark Nifty 50 index bhi 5.3% gir gaya us week mein jo March 13, 2026 ko khatm hui, aur ab yeh ek technical correction zone mein hai. Chhote stocks, matlab mid-cap aur small-cap bhi aur zyada gire hain.

Ab dusri badi chinta par aate hain – hamare vital IT sector ke liye Artificial Intelligence (AI) ka threat. Lagta hai AI se purane tarike ke outsourcing mein bada change aa sakta hai, jisse stocks ki valuations bigad gayi hain. Nifty IT index toh is saal ab tak 20.7% gir chuka hai 2026 mein, jo Nifty 50 se bhi bahut bura performance hai. Iska reason hai generative AI tools, jo coding aur customer support jaise kaam ko automate kar sakte hain. Ab sawal yeh hai ki company ke revenue growth par kya asar padega. Kuch experts jaise JP Morgan ka kehna hai ki AI se productivity badhegi, wohi Prabhudas Lilladher jaisi firms warn kar rahi hain ki AI se traditional IT services mein 20-50% tak ka impact aa sakta hai. Isliye hi Infosys aur TCS jaise bade IT stocks ki valuations apne 5-year low ke aas paas aa gayi hain. Waise NASSCOM ka kehna hai ki FY26 tak IT sector $315 billion tak pahunch jayega aur AI se $10-12 billion ka contribution ho sakta hai.

Toh overall market abhi thoda cautious hai. Ek taraf toh oil prices aur geopolitical worries hain, jisse emerging markets se paisa nikal raha hai. Reserve Bank of India ne thoda stabilize kiya hai, par bahar ke risks par nazar rakhni hogi. Nifty PE ratio ab 20.3 ke aas paas hai, jo ek saal ke low range mein hai, matlab stocks pehle se thode saste ho gaye hain. Par kai analysts ko lagta hai ki AI ka jo long-term risk hai, woh abhi poora price mein reflect nahi hua hai. Kuch companies jaise metals aur autos bhi is oil crisis se affected hain. Long term mein toh AI India ke IT sector ko permanently change kar sakta hai, jabki geopolitical issues temporary hote hain. Jefferies ka estimate hai ki AI se next 4 saal mein industry revenues 9-12% tak kam ho sakti hain. Investors ab companies ke upcoming results ka wait kar rahe hain yeh dekhne ke liye ki woh AI ko kaise handle karne wale hain. Filhaal toh market mein volatility rahegi hi, par long term IT sector ka AI ke saath adjust karna hi uska future decide karega.
