Markets closed on a dismal note as tepid quarterly results from prominent companies weighed on the indices.
Meanwhile, lack of any advancement in reforms such as GST in the present Monsoon session of Parliament amid weak global cues dampened sentiment.
The broader markets ended in-line with the benchmark indices- BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices lost 0.6% each.
The market breadth ended negative, with 1,271 gainers and 1,587 losers on the BSE.
