Tue Jan 21 11:02:57 UTC 2025: ## Indian Stock Market Crashes After Initial Surge

**Mumbai, India** – India’s stock market experienced a dramatic crash on Tuesday, plummeting sharply after an initial positive opening. Following the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, both the Sensex and Nifty indices opened in the green, with the Sensex rising over 200 points. However, this rally was short-lived, and within minutes, the market reversed course.

The Sensex plunged over 800 points in just an hour of trading, falling from a high of 77,261.72 to 76,239 by 10:15 AM. Similarly, the Nifty index dropped over 210 points. This sharp downturn occurred despite a significant surge on Monday, fueled by anticipation of Trump’s inauguration.

Zomato shares were among the hardest hit, continuing their downward trend with an 8.40% decline. Other large-cap stocks such as Adani Ports (-1.74%) and Reliance (-1.37%) also experienced losses. Mid-cap stocks like Dixon (-10.24%) and Oberoi Realty (-6.61%), along with Paytm (-5.76%), Kalyan Jewellers (-4.38%), and several small-cap stocks, also suffered significant declines.

Market analysts attribute the sudden crash to a variety of factors, potentially including investor sentiment shifts following the US inauguration and company quarterly results. Investors are advised to consult financial experts before making any investment decisions.
