Meanwhile, silver prices were trading 0.1% higher at 2,62,404 per 1 kg.

4 reasons why Indian share markets are falling:

#1 US-Iran Talks Falter

Markets fell after hopes of a US-Iran peace deal weakened, increasing fears of further conflict in West Asia. High crude oil prices are also raising concerns about inflation and slower economic growth.

#2 Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Austerity Call

PM Narendra Modi urged people to reduce spending on fuel, gold, and unnecessary consumption. Investors fear this could slow economic activity and impact corporate earnings.

#3 The Crude Oil Shock

Crude oil prices rose above US$105 per barrel due to supply concerns and rising geopolitical tensions. Higher oil prices are a major concern for India, which depends heavily on oil imports.

#4 Rupee Weakness

The Indian rupee weakened sharply against the US dollar amid rising crude oil prices. A weaker rupee can increase inflation and lead to foreign investor outflows.
