The 30-share BSE index tanked 1,066.33 points or 2.61 per cent to close at 39,728.41.
Following the massive selloff, the market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies tumbled Rs 3,25,464.52 crore to Rs 1,57,31,141.32 crore.
"Tracking weak global cues, domestic bourses tumbled in today's session and joined the global sell-off amid faded US stimulus hopes and worries over re-surging COVID-19 infections in Europe," said Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director, Choice Broking.
All Sensex constituents closed in the red, except Asian Paints, which recorded marginal gains.
