Indian stock markets witnessed a sharp selloff on Thursday, with benchmark indices closing deep in the red amid rising global uncertainty and surging crude oil prices. BSE Sensex plunged 2,497 points to settle at 74,207, while NIFTY 50 dropped 776 points (3.3%) to close near the 23,000 mark at 23,002.
The market decline was widespread, with heavy selling seen across almost all sectors. Auto stocks led the fall, declining over 4%, followed by banking, IT, metal, and consumer durable stocks, which dropped around 3–4% each.
This reflects strong risk-off sentiment among investors, as global concerns and rising costs continue to weigh on markets.
Market breadth remained extremely weak, indicating strong selling pressure across stocks. Around 3,072 stocks declined, while only 999 stocks advanced, showing clear dominance of sellers in the market.
At the same time, volatility spiked sharply, with the India VIX rising over 21%, signalling heightened fear and uncertainty among investors.
