Market woes continue, falls 181 pts

PTI

Mirroring weakness for the fifth straight day, the benchmark BSE Sensex on Friday went down over 181 points to end the day at 26,656.83  a one-month low - after lacklustre results from l&T and ITC rekindled worries over the financial health of India Inc. The Nifty too struggled to break free, which closed below the 8,100-mark weighed down by losses in heavyweights. ITC figured in the list of worst performers as it sank over 4 per cent after its quarterly numbers failed to move investors. The FMCG major posted a marginal rise in standalone net profit at `2,431.25 crore for the September quarter.
