Mumbai: Indian equity benchmarks closed in the red on Thursday, extending losses for the fourth trading session in a row as selling pressure persisted across key sectors.

The BSE Sensex dropped 503.76 points, or 0.60%, to settle at 83,313.93, while the NSE Nifty50 declined 133.20 points, or 0.52%, ending the day at 25,642.80, slipping below the crucial 25,700 mark.

Market sentiment remained cautious amid profit booking at higher levels, with heavyweight stocks weighing on the indices. Broader markets also mirrored the weak trend, as investors stayed on the sidelines ahead of key global cues and macroeconomic updates.

Sector-wise, select financials, IT and FMCG stocks saw selling pressure, while limited buying support emerged in defensive pockets.
