BusinessIndian Stocks Fall Sharply After RBI Raises Repo Rate
Indian stock markets fell sharply on Thursday, with the Sensex dropping 1,045 points to 71,593 and the Nifty falling 371 points to 22,231, marking their lowest levels in nearly 18 months. The sell-off wiped out over Rs 10 lakh crore of investors' wealth amid RBI's 25 basis points repo rate hike and signals of further tightening. Rate-sensitive, commodities, and FMCG shares were heavily sold due to rising crude prices and global monetary tightening concerns.
