MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex closed lower on Thursday, snapping a six-day rally as investors booked profits, especially in blue chips such as Reliance Industries .

The Sensex ended down 0.69 percent at 24,623.34, while the broader NSE Nifty fell 0.61 percent to end at 7,486.15.

Reliance Industries fell 2.9 percent, after gaining 3.5 percent over the past two sessions, amid expectations it would declare a dividend at a board meeting on Thursday.
