Nifty500's Hidden Turmoil: 125 Stocks Down 30%, 5 Plunge 60%

• Nifty500 shows significant internal turmoil despite a 1% annual gain, with 125 stocks down over 30% from 52-week highs.
• Five Nifty500 stocks, including Tejas Networks and Ola Electric, have fallen by up to 60%.
• The average Nifty500 stock is 20% below its 52-week high, indicating widespread market weakness, particularly in smallcaps.
• Heavy FII selling (over ₹18,000 crore in Nov-Dec) and a record-low rupee are cited as key reasons for the market decline.
• Investors are advised to focus on quality stocks (cash-rich, low-debt, high ROE) and avoid speculative small-caps, as a market bottom is not yet confirmed.

Why It Matters: Despite Nifty500's calm, deep market declines warn investors of widespread weakness.
