Indian equity benchmarks Nifty 50 and Sensex crashed more than 3% on Thursday, their steepest single-day decline since June 2024, closing at 23,002.15 and 74,207.24 respectively. Escalating West Asia conflicts drove crude above $110 a barrel, stoking inflation fears, while HDFC Bank shares tumbled over 5% following chairman Atanu Chakraborty's resignation.
Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty are poised for a gap-down open, potentially erasing gains from last week's ceasefire rally, after US-Iran truce talks in Islamabad collapsed without resolution. Experts flag renewed West Asia tensions and volatility ahead.

Net profit growth for Nifty 50 companies in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 is expected to slow on a year-on-year basis due to price effects from the Iran-US war, brokerages said. Estimates range from 0.6% to 6%.
