The Indian benchmark indices closed almost flat, after early morning gains as the Sensex settled flat at 84,559 and the Nifty fell around 40 points to close over 25,800 at 3:30 PM.
During early morning trade the Sensex started trade at 84,735.59 or 55 points higher and the Nifty opened trade at 25,871.60, up by more than 11 points at 9:15 AM.
Indian equities slipped into negative territory as continued weakness in the rupee and sustained foreign fund outflows unsettled investors. The domestic currency breached fresh record lows, crossing 91 against the US dollar and touching 91.14 in intra-day trade on Tuesday, driven largely by persistent selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs).
