The BSE Sensex ended September 30 at 72,480.29 points, a decline of 48.78 points, or 0.07%. BSE’s closing record shows that the benchmark had crossed 73,000 during trading, so the modest headline loss does not describe the full intraday swing.
The verified session record
| Measure | Official observation |
|---|---|
| Previous close | 72,529.07 points |
| Opening level | 72,441.15 points |
| Session high | 73,062.23 points |
| Session low | 72,366.44 points |
| Closing level | 72,480.29 points |
Why the range matters
The index began 87.92 points below its previous close, then reached a high 533.16 points above it. It finished 581.94 points below that high. The total high-to-low span was 695.79 points; each comparison is CapKet arithmetic using the official BSE record. A range is not a loss suffered by every investor, since actual outcomes depend on holdings and entry prices.
Other BSE gauges did not move in lockstep
The same exchange snapshot showed BSE Bankex up 0.68% at 61,725.25 and BSE Focused IT up 0.51% at 33,588.47. Those are separate index performances, not measured contributions to the Sensex. The comparison establishes divergence without inventing a sector explanation for the benchmark’s decline.
The Nifty session report provides the parallel NSE record and exchange-wide breadth. This article retains only September 30 observations.
