Stock Market Crash: Sensex Slides 930 Points, Nifty Below 22,300

Indian stock markets came under heavy selling pressure on October 8, with the Sensex falling around 930 points during afternoon trade and the Nifty 50 slipping below 22,300 to around 22,269.

Adani Enterprises emerged as one of the biggest losers, falling nearly 7%, while ITC and JSW Steel also declined around 4%.

The sell-off was driven by several factors, including the RBI’s 25-basis-point repo rate hike, its calibrated tightening stance, rising crude oil prices and continued foreign investor selling. Brent crude remained above the $100-a-barrel level, adding to inflation concerns.

Foreign Institutional Investors sold shares worth more than ₹6,121 crore in the previous session, while domestic institutional investors bought around ₹4,597 crore.

The market is now closely tracking RBI policy, crude oil prices, global cues, and FII flows as investors assess the impact of higher rates and persistent selling pressure on market sentiment.
