On the sectoral front, metal, power, realty, and media are down 1.5-2.5%. However, FMCG, auto, and IT ended with marginal gains.
Asian Paints, Interglobe Aviation, M&M, Reliance Industries, and UltraTech Cement were among the major gainers on the Nifty, while losers were Hindalco, Grasim Industries, Adani Enterprises, Power Grid Corp, and Eternal.
Among the broader market indices, the BSE Midcap index fell 1.2%, and the smallcap index shed 1.5%.
