In short

The Sensex fell 503 points to 72,260.09 in early trade. The Nifty also fell 151 points to 22,626.50.

The report links the drop to foreign fund outflows. It does not say how much money left the market or when the selling started.

What the reporting says

The BSE Sensex dropped 503 points to 72,260.09 in early trade, while the NSE Nifty fell 151 points to 22,626.50, according to the reporting. The move was attributed to relentless foreign fund outflows, but the source does not provide further detail on the size or timing of those flows. The immediate consequence is broad early weakness in Indian markets.

Why it matters

The BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty both moved lower in early trade, with the Sensex at 72,260.09 and the Nifty at 22,626.50. The reporting says relentless foreign fund outflows were behind the decline. It does not quantify the outflows or explain whether the weakness was limited to specific sectors or broad-based across the market.
