The statement was simultaneously noted by TradingView, which highlighted the minister's blame on liquidity for the market slump. BusinessLine reproduced the minister’s remarks, reiterating that abundant liquidity lowers the cost of exiting positions and thus pressures share prices. The Economic Times added that Sitharaman explained the ease of exits as a structural issue affecting investor sentiment.

Collectively, the outlets framed the liquidity surplus as the primary driver of the recent downturn. No outlet presented an opposing view; all cited the same liquidity explanation, leaving little room for debate in current reporting. As of the latest updates, Indian equities remain weighed down by the perceived excess of cash, and market participants are monitoring liquidity conditions for signs of easing.
