In India, a stockbroker named Avendus Spark made a huge blunder. They were supposed to sell only 24% of a company called Clean Science & Technology. But, they sold way more shares than they were allowed to. This mistake happened right at the start of the trading day. A lot of shares changed hands in just a few minutes. The total value of the shares sold was around 65. 4 billion rupees. That's a lot of money!

This error is being called one of the biggest "fat-finger" mistakes in India's stock market history. A "fat-finger" mistake is when someone accidentally types in the wrong number. In this case, it led to a lot of confusion and problems. The company, Clean Science, had to release a statement about what happened. They said that the broker sold a much larger number of shares than they were supposed to.

This incident raises questions about how such mistakes can happen. It also shows how important it is for brokers to be careful when dealing with large amounts of money and shares. The stock market is a place where mistakes can have big consequences. This mistake could have affected many people who invest in the stock market.

The exact scale of the error is still not clear. But, it's clear that this was a big mistake. It's important for everyone involved to learn from this and make sure it doesn't happen again. The stock market is a complex place, and even small mistakes can have big impacts.
