The NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex ended at the lowest level since Nov. 22 as Infosys Ltd. and HDFC Bank Ltd.'s share prices dragged. The Indian benchmarks also witnessed the steepest intraday fall in over the last three weeks.

The Nifty 50 ended at 360.75 points, or 1.49% down at 23,914.15, and the Sensex ended at 1,190.34 points, or 1.48% lower at 79,043.74.

Moreover, sharp losses in technology stocks also pressured the Indian benchmarks. India's technology stocks were trading in the red because mixed data from the US created uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's monetary policy going forward.

The Nifty 50 declined as much as 1.65% to 23,873.35, the lowest level since Nov. 4. The Sensex declined 1.64% to 78,918.92.

Broad weakness across Asia–Pacific markets also weighed on the Indian benchmark indices.

HDFC Bank Ltd.'s share price rose 1.31% to a record high of Rs 1,836.10 apiece within one hour of Thursday's session. The recent uptick in the stock market comes as the bank continues to make strides in both its financial performance and customer outreach.
