The benchmark BSE Sensex was down 0.78% to
76,802.90, while the broader NSE Nifty 50 index declined

weakness, while HDFC Bank fell after the central bank
approved a term extension for the lender's interim chairman.
RUPEE:
The Indian rupee nearly flat versus the U.S. dollar
at 94.32, snapping a five-session winning streak, as weakness in

positions, but the currency posted its best week in the last 11
on debt inflows.

100.64 rupees, with the yield nearly flat at 6.8484%.
