Indian indices crashed on April 7, with Sensex falling 2,226 points to 73,137.90 and Nifty dropping 740 points to 22,032. Trade tensions and US tariffs triggered the selloff, wiping out investor wealth and weakening the rupee.
Updated till 4:00 PM – Indian stock markets faced a massive selloff on Monday, April 7, 2025, following intense global cues and rising trade tensions. The Sensex crashed 2,226.79 points or 2.95% to close at 73,137.90, while the Nifty50 slumped 739.95 points or 3.25% to settle at 22,032. The dramatic downturn followed Donald Trump's reciprocal tariff hike that spooked global investors, pulling down Wall Street, Asian indices, and emerging market equities.
Sensex lost 2,226.79 points; Nifty plunged by 739.95 points.
Rs 16.9 lakh crore wiped out in market capitalisation on the BSE.
Nifty Metal and Realty were the worst-hit sectoral indices.
Zomato was the only Sensex stock to end in the green.
Indian rupee saw its steepest fall in nearly 3 months.
Siemens stock nosedived 43%, leading the list of top losers.
The market carnage spread across all major indices, with Metal, Realty, Media, and Auto leading the fall. Nifty Metal dropped 6.75% to close at ₹7,846.35, followed by Nifty Realty which declined 5.69%. The broader indices including Nifty Media, Auto, and IT & Telecom saw losses of over 3.5%. Market breadth turned extremely negative as nearly all sectoral indices ended deep in the red.
Nifty Sector | Closing Value | Change (%) |
Nifty Metal | 7,846.35 | -6.75% |
Nifty Realty | 776.20 | -5.69% |
Nifty Media | 1,429.90 | -3.94% |
Nifty Auto | 19,815.55 | -3.78% |
Nifty Midsmall IT & Telecom | 8,248.15 | -3.75% |
Tata Steel led the losses, plunging 7.16% to ₹130.40, followed by Tata Motors and L&T. Private banking majors like Kotak Mahindra and Axis Bank also registered heavy declines. Zomato was the only stock in the green, gaining 0.17%.
Company | Closing Price (Rs) | Change (%) |
Tata Steel | 130.40 | -7.16% |
Tata Motors | 581.00 | -5.35% |
Larsen & Toubro | 3,089.30 | -5.21% |
Kotak Mahindra Bank | 2,040.50 | -4.33% |
Axis Bank | 1,052.25 | -3.42% |
Amidst the overall gloom, a few stocks in the broader market bucked the trend. 360 One Wam Ltd gained 4.38%, followed by Linde India, Aegis Logistics, and GMR Airports. Meanwhile, Siemens Ltd plummeted over 42%, leading the list of top losers, followed by Trent and Edelweiss.
The Indian rupee depreciated by 0.7%, marking its steepest single-day fall since January. The currency weakness was largely attributed to foreign outflows and the ripple effect of Donald Trump’s tariff announcement. Asian currencies including the yuan also weakened, intensifying pressure on the RBI to monitor volatility closely in the coming days.
Donald Trump's sweeping new tariffs—starting at a baseline of 10% and going as high as 34% for China—sparked panic across global markets. US futures pointed to deeper losses with Nasdaq futures down by 3.1%. Japan’s Nikkei plunged 7.8% to a 1.5-year low, triggering circuit breakers. European markets also reacted negatively to trade disruptions, hinting at prolonged volatility ahead.
Indian markets now enter a crucial phase where global triggers and domestic stability will decide the next direction. With tariff uncertainties persisting and investor sentiment shaken, a short-term rebound looks unlikely unless there is some clarity from global policymakers.
