Indian Indices:

Indian markets cracked deeply for the entire day at their lowest level since November 2013 as weak economic data from China, the world's second largest economy, raised worries that the global growth is still struggling. Further, the US Fed's decision to further taper its monetary stimulus measures has also dampened sentiment in emerging markets.

Foreign investors continued to sell as part of a slump in emerging markets.

The Metal Index ended below 9000 the lowest since October 28, 2013. Rate sensitive sectors were amongst the worst hit.

The Sensex closed at 20209.26, down by 304.59 points and the Nifty fell by 87.70 points to settle at 6001.80 in trade today.
