Asian stocks were trading lower after terrorists attacked a crowded tourist street in Barcelona

Shares of the budget carrier operator fell as much as 4.95 percent to Rs 1,247.50 after a PTI report said IndiGo cancelled 84 flights and grounded thirteen A320 Neo planes due to Pratt & Whitney engine issues.

Shares of the Vijay Mallya-promoted firm slipped 5 percent to Rs 17.60 after the National Stock Exchange and BSE Ltd said that they would suspend trading in the stock from September 8,

The suspension was mainly "on account of non-compliance with financial results and non-payment of fine for two consecutive quarters", NSE said in a communication.

The bourses also froze the entire promoter shareholding with immediate effect.

Indian shares declined, in line with global peers, after terrorists struck a crowded tourist street in Barcelona, exacerbating unease triggered by mounting concerns about dysfunction in President Donald Trump’s administration and U.S. policy paralysis.

The S&P BSE Sensex 0.6 percent to 31,589 while the NSE Nifty 50 Index dropped 0.6 percent as well to 9,840. All the 19 sector gauges compiled by the BSE Ltd declined, led by the S&P BSE IT Index’s 2.5 percent drop, the most in over two months.
