Sensex and Nifty erased early gains and witnessed a sharp decline today (March 13) amid concerns over “frothy” valuations in the mid-cap and small-cap segments. Sensex fell over 1,500 points to a low of 72,515. NSE Nifty 50 crossed the 22,000 mark. Throughout the day, around 302 stocks rose, 3,188 stocks fell and 40 stocks remained unchanged, while all sectoral indices ended in the red.
Realty, Media, PSU Bank, Telecom, Power, Oil & Gas and Metals fell more than 5 per cent each. The sell-off came in the wake of SEBI Chairman Madhabi Puri Buch’s comments in which he said SME listings indicated signs of manipulation.
