WIPRO LTD Share Price Today – Market Snapshot
Why Is WIPRO LTD Share Price Falling Today?
Wipro Ltd (WIPRO) shares dropped 2.95% to close at ₹156.79 on September 29, 2026, lingering near the day's low of ₹156.79 after opening at ₹161.00. Trading volumes surged noticeably, with total volume coming in at over 16.21 crore shares—running at roughly 4 times its 5-day average and 9 times its 20-day average, signaling heavy selling pressure and positioning adjustments.
The broader market witnessed mild weakness as the Nifty slipped 0.28%, but IT stocks faced a sharper pullback, with the Nifty IT sector benchmark declining by 1.48%. Wipro's underperformance relative to both the broader market and its sectoral peers underscores deeper index-related headwinds, compounding its negative short-term momentum which shows a 5.55% decline over the past five sessions.
Beyond general sector weakness, market participants are processing Wipro's impending exit from the benchmark Nifty 50 index, scheduled to take effect from September 30, 2026, with BSE replacing it. This index rejig has intensified institutional rebalancing and short-term volatility, overshadowing recent operational updates such as its collaboration with Aramco and SAP for the Wipro STO360 solution.
