The Sensex and Nifty on Thursday ended lower and clocked their worst quarter since the early days of the pandemic, beset by fears that aggressive central bank policy aimed at curbing inflation could hurt the economy.
The NSE Nifty 50 index closed 0.12 per cent or 18.85 points lower at 15,780.25, and the BSE Sensex slipped 0.02 per cent or 8.03 points to 53,018.94. The rupee ended at a record closing low of 78.9675 against the dollar.
