Mumbai Sep 10 (IANS) The key Indian equity indices ended deep in the red on Monday with the benchmark Sensex losing 467 points and the Nifty50 down 151 points.
The domestic equity market was weighed down by a record low rupee and weak global markets.
The Indian rupee touched a new low of 72.67 earlier in the day which dampened the domestic investor sentiment. Globally market sentiments were subdued on concerns that the US might impose further tariffs on Chinese imports.
