Indian equity benchmarks Nifty and Sensex extended the losses for the second session on Wednesday hit by political uncertainty in the state of Karnataka.
Moreover, surging crude oil prices, falling rupee, weak global cues and mixed earnings from bluechip firms such as ITC and Hindalco dampened market mood.
The Nifty50 finished day's trade 61 points, or 0.56 per cent, down at 10,741, with 17 stocks advancing and 33 declining.
The BSE Sensex fell 156 points or 0.44 per cent to settle at 35,388. Overall, 12 stocks remained in the green, while 19 in the red in the index.
Hindustan Unilever, Lupin, ITC, Bajaj Finance, Wipro, Asian Paints and YES Bank remained the top gainers in the Nifty index on Wednesday.
On the other hand, ICICI Bank, Cipla, UltraTech Cement, Reliance Industries, GAIL (India), BPCL, State Bank of India and Hindalco Industries remained the top Nifty losers.
