Major Periods of Notable Pullbacks in Nifty 50

The Nifty 50 index, launched in 1996, has seen numerous pullbacks—temporary declines from recent highs—amid global events, domestic policies, and economic shifts. "Notable" pullbacks here refer to corrections of 10% or more, with a focus on significant ones exceeding 20% (often classified as bear markets).
