Meanwhile, volatility surged with the India VIX jumping 50% to above 31, intraday. This was the biggest jump in the volatility index in at least nine years. Barring FMCG, all other sectoral indices ended in the red, with Realty, Telecom, Metal, Capital Goods, Oil & Gas, Power, and PSU Bank down more than 10% each.
