Indian equities faced a significant downturn on Thursday, with the BSE Sensex dropping 714.48 points (0.85%) to 83,020 and the NSE Nifty falling 222 points to 25,597. This decline wiped out over ₹3 lakh crore from the total market capitalization, now at ₹468.46 lakh crore.

Despite the broad-based selling, institutional investors are selectively buying, indicating confidence in fundamentally strong companies and defensive sectors. 📉
