Why Did the Indian Stock Market Fall?

The market also reacted to proposed changes discussed by IRDAI concerning insurance distribution economics, which triggered significant selling in insurance and related financial stocks.

Foreign institutional investors were provisional net sellers of approximately ₹5,027.36 crore in Indian equities on September 24, while domestic institutional investors were provisional net buyers of around ₹4,301.18 crore.
