Equity benchmark Sensex plunged over 500 points in early trade on October 1, tracking losses in index majors HDFC twins, ICICI Bank and Infosys amid sustained foreign fund outflow and a weak trend in global markets.
The 30-share Sensex was trading 500.67 points or 0.85% lower at 58,625.69. Similarly, the Nifty declined 150.40 points or 0.85% to 17,467.75.
Maruti was the top loser in the Sensex pack, shedding around 2%, followed by HDFC Bank, Bajaj Finserv, ICICI Bank, Bharti Airtel and HDFC.
