Mumbai Oct 5 (IANS) The Indian equity indices plunged during the late afternoon trade session on Friday after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) changed its policy stance and kept key benchmark lending rates intact.
Apart from the policy decision the free-fall in the Indian rupee s value to over 74 a US dollar eroded investors sentiments.
At 3.15 p.m. the Nifty50 of the National Stock Exchange was trading at 10 338.05 points down 261.20 points or 2.46 per cent from its previous close.
On a similar note the S&P BSE Sensex which opened at 35 097.99 points was trading at 34 378.65 points down 790.51 points or 2.25 per cent from its previous close.
