Equity indices plummet 2.4 pc on rising COVID-19 infections
Equity benchmark indices dipped sharply during early hours on Monday as the country recorded a massive surge of 1.69 lakh COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours and curbs were imposed in different regions to contain the spread of virus.
At 10:15 am, the BSE S-P Sensex was down by 1,231 points or 2.48 per cent at 48,360 while the Nifty 50 tumbled by 348 points or 2.34 per cent to 14,487.
Except for Nifty pharma, all other sectoral indices at the National Stock Exchange were in the red with Nifty PSU bank down by 6.5 per cent, private bank by 4 per cent, realty by 5.4 per cent, auto by 3.8 per cent and metal by 2.5 per cent.
Among stocks, IndusInd Bank cracked by 6.8 per cent to Rs 860.20 per share while Kotak Mahindra Bank lost by 3.97 per cent to Rs 1,728.75.
Market pressure persisted for the third consecutive session as key indices, including Sensex, Nifty, and Nifty Bank, witnessed notable declines. The midcap index closed in the red despite performing relatively better. Geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel contributed to the market downturn. US stock futures dipped after major benchmarks suffered losses, while European and Asia-Pacific markets also experienced significant drops.

The Supreme Court dismissed the State Bank of India's plea for an extension to disclose electoral bond details, directing disclosure by March 12, 2024. This decision follows the court's ruling against the 2018 electoral bond scheme changes. SBI's confusion over matching exercises was clarified by the Chief Justice, emphasising the need for plain disclosure. Contempt proceedings may ensue if directives are not followed.
