Indian markets down for second consecutive day on Tuesday
Mumbai, Mar 29 (IBNS) The Indian benchmark indices were down for the second consecutive day on Tuesday, with the Sensex down 65.94 points at 24900.46 and the Nifty down 18.10 points at 7597.
The decline has been attributed to weak cues from the Asian market and losses in healthcare, IT and consumer durables stocks.
Asian markets are awaiting news from the US Fed Reserve following a speech by its chief Janet Yellen.
Some of the top gainers on Tuesday were Reliance Industries, Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, Axis Bank and Bharti Airtel while Lupin, HDFC, Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy's and TCS were among the top losers.
