Market benchmark BSE Sensex tanked almost 183 points and the NSE Nifty broke below the crucial 8,200—mark in early trade due to profit-booking by investors after yesterday’s gains amid weak global cues.
The 30-share barometer declined by 182.71 points or 0.68 per cent to 26,543.63 with sectoral indices banking, teck, auto, IT, capital goods and metal, leading the fall.
