A wave of unease swept through India’s Sensex crash concerns on August 6, 2025, as the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty erased early gains, trading lower amid fears of a looming market downturn. The Sensex, which briefly climbed 124.18 points to 80,834.43, fell to 80,627.72, down 82.53 points, while the Nifty dropped 29 points to 24,620.55. Investors, rattled by foreign fund outflows and global trade tensions, held their breath ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) monetary policy decision.
Big Firms After Sensex Crash
Major Sensex firms like HCL Technologies, Infosys, Sun Pharmaceuticals, and Reliance Industries dragged the index down, reflecting weakness in IT and banking sectors. Investors lamenting the market’s volatility and some blaming U.S. tariff threats for spooking global markets. The previous day’s losses, Sensex down 308.47 points and Nifty 73.20 points, fueled fears of a deeper Sensex crash.
RBI Verdict and Its Stance
Analysts point to unabated foreign institutional investor (FII) sell-offs, with ₹831.50 crore in equities offloaded on Monday, and uncertainty over U.S. policies as key triggers. Despite a positive start driven by hopes of a dovish RBI stance, caution prevailed. “Markets are jittery; global cues and FII moves are dictating sentiment,” one trader shared on X.
As India’s financial heart grapples with uncertainty, investors hope for clarity from the RBI to steady the ship. The shadow of a potential Sensex crash looms large, testing the resilience of a shaken market.
