Nifty 50 index and India VIX – the gauge of market volatility – have snapped their inverse correlation. Since February 19, 2025, Nifty 50 has fallen around 3.5 percent, while India Vix has shed around 12 percent. Traditionally, as India Vixon – the volatility gauge – rises, the N50 index often declines, and vice versa, with higher VIX signalling greater uncertainty, thus leading to a fall in the value of the benchmark. Technical expert Dinesh Nagpal said the India V IX may no longer be as relevant as before, with traders and investors now focusing more on the weekly index options. One possible reason for the subdued VIX, Preeti Chabra said, is the lack of abrupt spikes in put option prices.
