Mumbai, April 25, 2025 – Indian stock markets saw a significant decline on Friday, with the BSE Sensex dropping over 700 points. Investor sentiment was hit by the aftermath of the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, raising concerns about regional security and economic stability. Sectors like tourism and hospitality were particularly affected, reflecting broader market anxiety.
The slump in the markets was attributed to fears of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, following the attack that killed 26 people, including 24 Indian tourists. Investors are wary of potential geopolitical fallout, leading to a cautious outlook across markets.
