The Indian stock market experienced a significant crash today, with the BSE Sensex dropping over 1,000 points and the NSE Nifty falling by 300 points. This decline wiped out ₹7 lakh crore of investors' wealth, driven by escalating tensions in West Asia and warnings from US President Donald Trump regarding Iran.

Brent crude oil prices surged past $111 per barrel, leading the Indian Rupee to hit an all-time low of ₹96.18 against the US Dollar. Key losers included Power Grid, Tata Steel, and Maruti, while IT stocks like Infosys and TCS provided some support.
