    April 30, 2026, 1:26 PM EDT. Indian stock markets fell sharply on April 30, dragged down by surging crude oil prices, weak global cues, and foreign institutional outflows. The Sensex declined 0.75% to 76,913.50, and the Nifty 50 dropped 0.74%, slipping below the key 24,000 level to 23,997.55. Brent crude hovered near $120 a barrel amid Middle East geopolitical tensions, stoking inflation concerns in India. The rupee touched a record low of 95.3450 against the dollar before slightly recovering, adding to investor anxiety. Banking stocks led losses, while IT shares provided modest support. Market volatility, measured by India VIX, rose nearly 6%, signaling uneasy trading ahead amid ongoing global and domestic uncertainty.
