Stock Market Today: The Indian equity benchmark indices, BSE Sensex and Nifty50, faced significant losses on Tuesday due to a massive outflow of foreign funds from the capital markets and weak global equities.
The BSE Sensex dropped 930.55 points or 1.15 per cent to settle at 80,220.72, while the Nifty50 declined 309 points or 1.25 per cent to 24,472.10.
Earlier in the intra-day trading session, the BSE Sensex plunged as much as 1,001.74 points, or 1.23 per cent, to reach 80,149.53.
The downturn was primarily led by major stocks such as Mahindra & Mahindra, State Bank of India, Power Grid, Tata Steel, Tata Motors , Larsen & Toubro, NTPC, Bajaj Finance, and Reliance, which collectively dragged the BSE Sensex down by 505 points, according to reports.
In contrast, ICICI Bank, Nestle, and Infosys emerged as the major gainers.
