Equity benchmark indices declined in initial trade today, falling for the third day running, amid weak trends in IT counters and foreign fund outflows.
Weak trends in global markets also added to the negative sentiments.
The 30-share BSE Sensex fell 168.88 points to 59,558.13. The broader NSE Nifty declined 48.35 points to 17,611.80.
Among the Sensex firms, Infosys, HCL Technologies, Asian Paints, Hindustan Unilever, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, Bajaj Finserv and Nestle were the major laggards.
