Israel-Iran War: Gulf Tensions Weigh Heavily On Indian Markets As Sensex Falls Nearly 1,000 Points

Indian stock markets opened sharply lower on Monday, March 2, 2026, as West Asia tensions from US-Israel strikes on Iran sparked a global sell-off and oil price surge. The BSE Sensex dropped over 1,100 points initially (pre-open down 2,743 pts or 3.4% to 78,543), while NSE Nifty 50 fell 330 points (pre-open -519 pts or 2.06% to 24,659). Midcaps and smallcaps declined notably—Nifty Midcap 100 at 57,090 (-2.3%), Smallcap 100 at 16,289 (-3.7%)—with Realty, Media, Oil & Gas leading sectoral losses amid realty stocks like Signature Global and Godrej Properties tumbling.

Top losers included Adani Ports, Indigo (InterGlobe Aviation), Eternal, L&T, and Asian Paints; gainers featured defence plays like Bharat Dynamics, BEL, and Sterlite Tech. GIFT Nifty signaled the gap-down with a 150-216 pt drop, amplifying fears of inflation and energy disruptions.
