MUMBAI: The Indian benchmark indices continued their losses on Tuesday, tracking weak global cues and the US administration's escalation of tariff tensions with European countries.
Persistent selling by foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) also weighed on the market sentiment.
Around 9.30 am, Sensex lost 275 points, or 0.33 per cent to reach 82, 971 and Nifty declined 91 points, or 0.36 per cent to 25, 494.
Main broadcap indices performed in line with benchmark indices, with the Nifty Midcap 100 losing 0.33 per cent, and the Nifty Smallcap 100 easing 0.54 per cent.
