The day also saw foreign institutional investors pull out Rs 800 crore from Indian markets, displaying lack of confidence on the Indian bourses.
There was a broad-based selling in the markets, and among the 30 blue-chip stocks in the Sensex only Hindustan Unilever, Asian Paints and Infosys stayed in the green.
