Stock Market Crash Today Live: Sensex Tumbles 900 Points, Nifty Near 22,900; India VIX Leaps 15%, Banks Top Drag
BSE is in focus.
28 Sept 2026 · NDTV Profit
Stock Market Today Live Updates: The BSE Sensex opened at 73,734.83, down from its previous close of 73,895.74. Meanwhile, the Nifty50 opened at 23,064.90 against its previous close of 23,140.50..
The analysis
BSE reported movement of 15%. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
Why it matters
- With BSE involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
Market context
- This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
- Sector exposure: Banks.
- The immediate tone of coverage reads negative.
