Friday, the 13th effect? D-Street investors suffer Rs 4 lakh crore shock as Sensex sinks over 800 points

Indian stock markets opened sharply lower on Friday. The Sensex and Nifty saw significant drops. This decline was driven by a major selloff in IT stocks. Investor sentiment was rattled by fears of Artificial Intelligence disruption. Major IT companies experienced substantial losses. This led to a significant erosion of investor wealth on the BSE. The Nifty IT index slumped considerably.
