<h1>Foreign government adds 25% tariff raising total to 50%, sparks heavy foreign fund outflows and equity market crash</h1> Equity markets plunged after a foreign government implemented an additional 25% tariff on the country's exports, raising total levies to 50%, triggering heavy foreign fund outflows and a sharp risk-off mood. The benchmark fell about 1,555 points (1.9%) over two sessions, eroding roughly Rs 9.69 lakh crore in market capitalisation. Mid and small caps underperformed while large caps fell; most sectoral indices posted losses with consumer durables the lone gainer. Trading was affected by a national holiday on one day, and overall investor sentiment remained fragile amid concerns over trade policy and capital flight.
