Selling pressure was seen in several heavyweights on the Sensex. Shares of Mahindra & Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, Bajaj FinservTitan, HDFC Bank, Bharti Airtel, Bajaj Finance, Power Grid and NTPC ended as the top losers.

On the other hand, only a handful of stocks managed to close higher, with Hindustan Unilever, Trent, HCL Technologies, Infosys and Asian Paints ending in the green.
