The BSE Sensex fell 250 points from its daily high, while the Nifty index hovered near the 24,300 mark during Wednesday's trading session.
Market sentiment was dampened by rising crude oil prices and the ongoing US-Iran geopolitical standoff, which pressured benchmark indices.
Investors remain cautious as they await key inflation data, with the Nifty slipping below the 24,200 level in early trading.
