MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex fell for a second consecutive session on Wednesday on continued profit-taking after the benchmark hit a record high on Sunday, with lenders such as ICICI Bank leading decliners.
The Sensex provisionally closed down 0.41 percent, while the broader Nifty ended 0.61 percent lower.
The NSE banking index closed down 1.8 percent on the back of profit-taking, with ICICI down 1.4 percent.
Hindalco Industries ended down 2.3 percent, while Tata Steel fell 1.5 percent, with both having risen for the last six trading sessions.
