SENSEX Drops Over 500 Points as NIFTY50 Slips Below 24,650

On March 6, 2026, Indian stock markets opened on a shaky note as the BSE Sensex dropped over 500 points and the NIFTY50 slid below the key 24,650 level in early trading. This sharp move came after a mixed session on March 5, when markets briefly rebounded, but sentiment remained fragile. Traders and investors on Dalal Street are watching geopolitical tensions in West Asia and higher global oil prices closely, as these factors continue to influence risk appetite and market direction.
