Sensex drops after RBI rate hike; Nifty falls below 22,600
In short
Indian shares fell after the RBI announced its rate move. Sensex dropped over 500 points to 72,520 and Nifty 50 fell more than 150 points, trading below 22,600.
This matters because higher rates can pressure stocks, especially interest-rate sensitive ones. The report said the broader market was mixed, but it did not say how long the selloff would last.
