Ahead of the holiday, Indian markets witnessed a sharp fall. After gaining around 6 per cent last week, benchmark indices opened Monday’s session in the red, dropping over 2 per cent.

The Sensex fell nearly 1,700 points to an intraday low of 75,868, while the Nifty 50 declined 500 points to touch 23,556.

Market sentiment has been impacted by rising geopolitical tensions. The recent US-Iran talks ended without a breakthrough, raising concerns about prolonged uncertainty.
