On the sectoral front, all major indices ended in the red, indicating broad-based weakness. The sharpest decline was witnessed in the information technology index, which dropped 5.29%. Other sectors such as Media, Pharma, and Healthcare also saw losses in the range of 1% to 3%, with no sector managing to close in positive territory.
The Nifty Midcap 100 index declined by 0.96%, losing 578 points to close at 59,374.80. Meanwhile, the Nifty Smallcap index fell by 0.87%, or 153.55 points, to close at 17,567.20.
