Indian Stock Market Plunges: Sensex Falls 1,396 Points, Nifty Below 22,130

Stock Market LIVE Updates: Sensex and Nifty Crash at 2:30 PM

The Indian stock market is witnessing a major sell-off as both benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, continue to decline sharply. By 2:30 PM IST on February 28, 2025, the market faced significant losses due to global uncertainties and persistent foreign outflows.

Sensex and Nifty 50 Performance at 2:30 PM

  • BSE Sensex: Down 1,396 points (-1.87%) at 73,216.43
  • NSE Nifty 50: Down 415.55 points (-1.84%) at 22,129.50

Key Reasons Behind the Market Crash

1. Global Trade War Concerns

Growing tensions between major economies, particularly involving the United States, have increased fears of a global trade war, leading to cautious investor sentiment and widespread sell-offs.

2. Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) Outflows

Foreign investors have continued to offload Indian equities at an alarming rate. Since September 2024, FIIs have withdrawn approximately $25 billion, with $4.1 billion exiting in February 2025 alone.

3. Weakness in Mid & Small Cap Stocks

The mid-cap and small-cap segments have been hit the hardest, facing sharp declines as investors shift towards safer assets amid ongoing market volatility.

Market Impact and Future Outlook

  • The Nifty 50 is on track for its fifth consecutive monthly loss, the longest losing streak since 1996.
  • Investor wealth eroded by nearly ₹8.2 lakh crore today.
  • Market volatility is expected to continue in the short term due to global economic uncertainties.

Experts suggest that investors should remain cautious and avoid aggressive buying until market sentiment stabilizes. Short-term rallies might occur, but the overall trend remains weak.
