Mumbai, April 12
The Sensex plummeted 1,708 points while the Nifty crashed below the 14,350-level on Monday as investors pressed the panic button amid the massive second wave of Covid infections across the country.
The second wave is turning out to be much worse than expected, and participants are now reassessing their recovery forecasts amid increasing localised lockdowns, traders said. An unabated fall in the rupee sapped confidence further, they added.
