Sensex plunges 1,124 points to 72,771.72 in broad-based sell-off
Indian equities sold off sharply on Monday as rising crude and geopolitical uncertainty triggered broad-based selling.
The Sensex fell 1,124.02 points (1.52%) to close at 72,771.72, while the Nifty 50 dropped 360.25 points (1.56%) to 22,780.25 — near a six-month low.
Only three Nifty stocks — Dr Reddy's Laboratories, Infosys and HDFC Life — closed in the green, with PSU banks the worst-hit sector; the rupee weakened 28 paise to 96.03 against the dollar.
