The main reason for this decline was the selling of Rs 9,896.95 crore worth of equities in the Indian markets by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) on Friday (October 4).
Additionally, the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, a significant downturn in the broader markets, and investors' shift towards the Chinese markets due to their seemingly cheaper valuations compared to India, also contributed to the fall in the frontline indices.
"The Indian market has been following a different path with the Nifty 50 declining 4.5 percent in a week. This sharp correction has been mainly triggered by the massive FII selling in the cash market, which reached Rs 40,509 crore during the last four days," said Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.
