India’s benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended lower on Wednesday, dragged down by rate-sensitive stocks, after the Reserve Bank of India held key interest rates and stuck to a ‘neutral’ policy stance, in line with expectations but dampening some hopes for a more dovish signal amid global trade headwinds.
The BSE Sensex fell 166.26 points, or 0.21%, to end at 80,543.99, while the NSE Nifty shed 75.35 points, or 0.31%, to settle at 24,574.20.
