The stock market falls drastically, Rs 2.39 lakh crore of investors drowned; Crisis deepened by America’s policies

The start of FY 2025-26 was very disappointing for the stock market. On 1 April 2025, i.e. the first day of the new financial year, there was a sharp decline in the market. Both the Sensex and Nifty declined, causing the investors to lose about Rs 2.39 lakh crore in a single minute.

Why the sudden decline in the market?

As soon as the market opened on Tuesday, there was a huge selling atmosphere.

  • Sensex fell over 1100 points to 72,266

  • Nifty 50 also observed 23,242 levels with a decline of 274 points

  • Sensex closed at 76,036.66 at the end of the day at 76,036.66

The market’s decline was mainly due to heavy pressure in IT and banking stocks.

American tariff policy deepened crisis

On 2 April 2025, the recipe is likely to announce the recipes (counter -duty) by US President Donald Trump. Trump’s move is expected to increase business tension with many countries of the world including India.

Experts believe that this policy of Trump

  • India’s exports may be affected

  • Some major industries may get a shock

  • Stock market volatility may increase further

The US is the second largest trading partner for India, and this decision can adversely affect the Indian economy.

“The more tax that the country charges from America, the more tax will now be charged.”
