Indian stock markets opened lower on Friday after three days of gains. The Sensex fell over 500 points in early trade, while the Nifty 50 also slipped. At around 9:30 am, the Sensex was down more than 516 points. The fall came despite a positive Economic Survey. Investors booked profits and reduced risk ahead of Budget Day. Selling pressure was seen in metal and IT stocks. Continued foreign investor selling and a weak rupee added to concerns. Broader markets also declined, with midcap and smallcap stocks under pressure. Market mood remained cautious amid global uncertainty.
