The benchmark indices ended lower with the Nifty50 settling below 10,250 and Sensex down over 450 points, the biggest single day fall in 2 months in Thursday's session after Apr-Oct fiscal deficit was reported at Rs 5.25 lakh crore, 96.1% of FY18 budget target. 

Apr-Oct spending was at Rs 12.92 lakh cr vs Rs 11.50 lakh cr (YoY), while the Apr-Oct receipts at Rs 7.67 lakh cr vs Rs 7.27 lakh cr (YoY)

Investors also remained cautious ahead of the derivatives expiry of November series and September quarter GDP data due today. Negative trend seen in Asian markets after a plunge in high-flying technology shares also hurt sentiment. 

Meanwhile, economic growth pace is expected to have picked up in Q2, halting a five-quarter slide as businesses started to overcome teething troubles after the bumpy launch of a national sales tax. 

A Reuters poll of 52 economists over the past week showed gross domestic product growth likely rose to 6.4% from a year ago in the July-September quarter, from 5.7% in the previous period.

Indian banks' exposure to risks has risen and is now second only to those in China in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region due to large loans given to businesses having poor repayment capacity, ratings agency Moody's Investors Services has reportedly said.
