The BSE benchmark Sensex fell by 489.92 points (0.62%), while the NSE Nifty dropped by 204.65 points (0.83%) as a result of the downward trend in domestic equities. Factors contributing to the market decline included high crude oil prices, geopolitical tensions, and mixed global cues impacting investor sentiment. Companies such as Reliance Industries, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, State Bank of India, and TCS saw their valuations erode.",
