Indian markets plunge as West Asia tensions and tech sell‑off spook investors

Indian equity markets opened sharply lower amid heightened geopolitical tension in West Asia. A broad sell‑off in technology stocks added pressure to the market’s performance. Major indices fell into red territory, reflecting investor nervousness. Analysts linked the decline to concerns over potential supply‑chain disruptions. The tech sector’s weakness was compounded by recent earnings disappointments. Foreign institutional investors reduced exposure, further deepening the sell‑off. Market participants awaited cues from central bank policy and regional diplomatic developments. Watchers suggested that stabilisation of geopolitical risks could restore confidence.
