Why Is Info Edge (I) Share Price Falling 2.05% Today?

Latest NSE EOD report: 2026-09-29. Today’s Volume: 1,575,956; 5-Day Avg. Volume: 1,638,634; 20-Day Avg. Volume: 1,308,889; Volume vs 20-Day Avg.: 1.20x; Delivery Quantity: 677,296; Delivery %: 54.51%; Number of Trades: 41,369.

Info Edge (India) Ltd (NAUKRI) declined 2.05% during the session, settling at ₹1,219.50 after opening at ₹1,245.00. The stock traded within a relatively wide intraday range between a high of ₹1,245.90 and a low of ₹1,204.50. Market participation was moderate, with a total volume of 1,575,956 shares traded, tracking close to its 5-day average volume while remaining slightly elevated at 1.2 times its 20-day volume benchmark.

The broader market context reflected mild downward pressure, with the Nifty down 0.42%. However, the internet sector faced sharper weakness, as represented by the Nifty India Internet proxy declining by 2.95%. Info Edge underperformed the broader index while moving largely in tandem with the broader online classifieds and internet services sector, extending a near-term cooling phase that includes a 5.98% drop over the past five days and a 10.07% correction over the trailing 20 days.

On the corporate front, the company recently announced key leadership updates in mid-September, including the appointment of Naresh Chand Gupta as a Non-Executive Independent Director and Himanshu Agarwal as Whole-time Director and Chief Financial Officer, following the cessation of interim CFO Ambarish Raghuvanshi. While these governance developments provide structural continuity, today’s downward price action appears driven primarily by broader sector-wide weakness and ongoing profit-taking following recent downward momentum rather than any single new corporate catalyst.
