Sensex plunges over 1,000 points: Key triggers for today's losses
Indian stock markets fell sharply today as the government's stimulus package failed to enthuse the Street, with banking stocks leading the losses. The government has extended a nationwide lockdown to May 31, while easing some restrictions, but a ban on air travel and gatherings at several public places still remained. The Sensex fell as much as 1070 points to 30,027, wiping out about ₹3 lakh crore of investors' wealth. At day's low, the Nifty slumped to 8,825.
