Major Indian stock market indices concluded Thursday's trading session with notable losses. The S&P BSE Sensex declined by 539.35 points, reaching 76,933.59, a 0.70% drop. Similarly, the Nifty 50 index fell by 116.90 points to close at 24,090.85, representing a 0.48% decrease. These market movements were attributed to weak investor sentiment, exacerbated by the weekly expiry of derivatives contracts on the BSE.
