Investors lost almost ₹9 lakh crore as the market capitalization of BSE-listed firms fell to ₹460 lakh crore from ₹469 lakh crore in the previous session.
The rupee fell past 95 per US dollar to a record low, dragged down by rising oil costs and the US Federal Reserve's hawkish stance.
Brent crude rose to a four-year high of $126 per barrel after Axios reported that the US military plans to inform President Donald Trump on fresh options against Iran.
On Wednesday, Trump met with oil companies to discuss how to offset the impact of a possible months-long blockade of Iran's ports, raising concerns about long-term supply disruptions.
Higher oil prices pose inflation risks for India, the world's third-largest crude importer, as well as endangering economic growth and business profits.
