MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex fell for the third straight session on Thursday, closing at its lowest level in near 6-1/2 months on continued selling by foreign investors due to worries over retrospective taxes and a delay in land acquisition bill.
The Sensex closed down 0.44 percent at 26,599.11, while the broader Nifty fell 0.49 percent to 8,057.30.
The Sensex closed at its lowest level since Oct. 21, 2014, while the NSE index finished at its lowest level since Dec. 17, 2014.
