Party over? As Nifty Smallcap 100 fell over 4% in one month, 58 stocks got hammered up to 23%

The decline in smallcaps has been widespread across various sectors. However, the pharmaceutical sector, typically seen as a defensive haven during market downturns, has bucked the trend with many stocks performing well. Among the hardest hit in the 100-stock index is Birlasoft, experiencing a 23% drop. State-run shipping companies, Ircon International and Cochin Shipyard, have also suffered significant losses of 22% and 20%, respectively.
