After experiencing a significant fall on Wednesday, equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty tumbled during the early trade on Thursday as well. The major reason behind the downward trajectory of the market indices on April 23 is the sudden increase in crude oil prices that again breached the USD 100 per barrel mark.
Nifty falls by 175.75 points
The 30-share BSE Sensex on Thursday tumbled 532.83 points to 77,983.66 in opening trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty dropped 175.75 points to 24,202.35.
