  • Indian Markets Plunge as Nifty50 Drops Below 23,800, Sensex Falls 1,100 Points
    April 30, 2026, 2:42 AM EDT. Indian equities tumbled Thursday as Nifty50 slipped below 23,800 and BSE Sensex crashed over 1,100 points. The sell-off erased nearly Rs 9 lakh crore from market value. A surge in crude oil prices above $120 a barrel, geopolitical tensions including a prolonged U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, and a record low rupee pressured investors. Broader markets also suffered, with smallcaps and midcaps down sharply. The India VIX volatility index jumped 5%. Experts cite rising oil costs threatening India's economic stability and strong U.S. and South Korean AI earnings diverting funds away from Indian markets as key factors. The Federal Reserve's divided stance on interest rates added to global uncertainty, fueling the bearish sentiment.
