Stock Market Crash

On the morning of 24 September 2026 the Indian equity markets were jolted by a steep drop in the Nifty 50 and Sensex indices, the two benchmark indexes that gauge the broader market. At the same time the NSE went public on the street, issuing new shares at a discount that left the premium band barely 1 %. The debut took place against a backdrop of growing uncertainty over fiscal policy and global economic momentum and was closely tracked by traders with live updates from financial news outlets.^[2][3]
