On Monday, equity indices plunged with benchmark Bombay Stock Exchange sensex skidding more than 3,500 points. A steep dive of 10 percent in the lower circuit in the 30-share BSE pack caused a trading halt for 45 minutes, says The Times Of India. The lower circuit was hit at 9:58am local time. Normal trade resumed at 10:58am local time. Earlier this month on Mar 13, trading halted when the lower circuit triggered for the first time in 12 years since the global financial crisis.
