Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty closed nearly 1% lower on Thursday (April 30, 2026) as crude oil prices, weak global trends and foreign fund outflows weighed on investor sentiment.

The 30-share BSE Sensex tumbled 582.86 points or 0.75% to settle at 76,913.50. During the day, it plunged 1,237.5 points, or 1.59%, to 76,258.86, but recovered some of the losses in the second half of the session.
