Indian benchmark indices end in the red on Wednesday
Mumbai, Oct 5 (IBNS): The Indian markets ended in negative territory on Wednesday with Sensex down 113.57 points at 28220.98 and Nifty down 25.20 points at 8743.95, largely due to profit booking by investors, according to media reports.
Several key bank and IT stocks underperformed on Wednesday. Weak global cues also kept market sentiment subdued.
Some of the key gainers on Wednesday were HUL, Tata Motors, Asian Paints, ITC, L&T, SBI and NTPC while ONGC, Axis Bank, Bajaj Auto, M&M and Hero MotoCorp ended among the losers.
