Sensex falls for sixth day; banks, Cipla decline

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Sensex fell on Thursday, to its lowest close in one-and-a-half months, led by a decline in banking stocks, after government estimates showed India's FY13 growth could be worse than expected, while Cipla fell after its October-December net profit missed estimates.

ICICI Bank Ltd provisionally fell 0.8 percent, while Cipla Ltd ended 2.4 percent lower.

The Sensex provisionally fell 0.26 percent, while the Nifty ended down 0.31 percent.
