Market Meltdown: Sensex Crashes Over 3% in 2025

Published on: February 20, 2025 - The Indian stock markets have plunged 13% from September highs, with Sensex down over 3% in 2025 alone. Smallcap and midcap stocks have crashed over 20%, wiping out Rs 78 lakh crore in investor wealth. The downturn is driven by Trump’s tariff threats, leading to $25 billion in FII outflows and weak economic indicators, including 6.4% GDP growth, the slowest in 4 years, high inflation and sluggish corporate earnings. With fund managers’ allocation at a 2-year low, will the markets recover, or is more pain ahead? Join News9's Kartik Malhotra as he discusses these developments with Amit Kumar Gupta, founder of Fintrekk Capital.
