The Nifty 50 index opened with a downside gap at 23,909 and touched an intraday low of 23,759, logging a loss of around 238 points or nearly one per cent below its yesterday’s close of 23,997.

In this stock market crash, investors lost over ₹1.50 lakh crore in a single day as the overall market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms fell to ₹444 lakh crore from ₹445.51 lakh crore in the previous session.
