The Indian stock market fell sharply on Thursday, with Sensex dropping over 600 points and Nifty losing 224 points, wiping out nearly Rs 5 lakh crore in market capitalisation. All sectoral indices were in the red, led by declines in Power Grid, Tata Steel, and Maruti Suzuki. The drop was driven by a 2% surge in oil prices amid escalating West Asia tensions.
