Investors faced a massive blow as the BSE Sensex plummeted over three days, shedding more than 3%, equivalent to a wealth erosion of Rs 7.17 lakh crore.
The market's nosedive was largely attributed to escalating tensions in West Asia, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, which raised concerns about crude supply disruptions.
The IT sector was a significant drag on the market, with disappointing earnings and guidance causing widespread sell-offs, while the Indian rupee's value fell against rising crude prices, exacerbating inflation fears.
