India's benchmark Nifty snapped its seven-day losing streak on Tuesday, with some relief buying visible after frontline indices plunged 10% since the 26,000-plus record highs reached toward the end of September. However, gains achieved through the first-half of the day were largely erased in the last hour of trading due to escalation of tensions between Ukraine and Russia.

The market sell-off since the last week of September has pulled various stocks down by 15-50%, especially in the mid-cap and smallcap space, while the Nifty has declined 11% in this period. Nearly 20 stocks with m-cap of over ₹5,000 crore have risen over 10% since September 27. According to analyst consensus estimates, these stocks could surge further by 10-37%.
