MUMBAI: Indian stock markets ended lower on Monday as heavy selling in select heavyweight stocks dragged the benchmarks down, while global cues also remained cautious.
The decline was largely led by stock-specific pressure after quarterly results from major companies such as Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, and HDFC Bank, which emerged as the biggest drags on the market.
At the close, the Sensex ended at 83, 246.18, down 324.17 points or 0.39 per cent. The Nifty settled at 25, 585.5, falling 108.85 points or 0.42 per cent.
