New Delhi, June 24 -- Stock market today: The Indian stock market opened sharply lower on Monday, 23 June, as the Sensex plunged over 900 points and the Nifty 50 slipped below 24,850 amid a broad-based selloff triggered by weak global cues.

The Sensex opened at 81,704.07, down from its previous close of 82,408.17, and hit an intraday low of 81,476.76, losing more than 900 points, or over 1%. The Nifty 50 opened at 24,939.75 versus Friday's close of 25,112.40, and fell over 1% to touch an intraday low of 24,824.85.

However, both indices managed to recoup part of the losses as the session progressed. The Sensex closed 511 points, or 0.62%, lower at 81,896.79, while the Nifty 50 settled at 24,971.90, down 141 points, or 0.56%.
