Mumbai, April 24, 2025 — Indian stock markets opened in the red on Thursday, with both the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex witnessing early losses. Market sentiment was weighed down by geopolitical tensions after India announced a series of tough diplomatic measures against Pakistan in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Investors appeared cautious amid fears of regional instability and its potential economic impact.
The Nifty fell below the 22,000 mark in early trade, while the Sensex declined by over 300 points, led by losses in banking, metal, and energy stocks. Analysts noted that the ongoing tensions could lead to short-term volatility in the markets, with participants closely monitoring further developments on the diplomatic front.
