Investors became poorer by over Rs 6.27 lakh crore on Wednesday as markets crashed after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) hiked the policy rate by 40 bps in a surprise move.

An off-cycle hike in repo rate by the RBI spooked equity indices with the benchmark BSE sensex crashing over 1,300 points. Both the indices fell over 2 per cent each after the RBI raised benchmark lending rate to 4.40 per cent to contain inflation.
The 30-share BSE benchmark Sensex tumbled 1,306.96 points or 2.29 per cent to settle at 55,669.03. During the day, it plummeted 1,474.39 points or 2.58 per cent to 55,501.60. While, the broader NSE Nifty settled 392 points or 2.29 per cent lower at 16,678.

In tandem with the slump in equities, the market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms tumbled Rs 6,27,359.72 crore to stand at Rs 2,59,60,852.44 crore.
Micro-blogging platform Twitter exploded with memes post the stock market crash.
