Indian stock markets closed lower with Sensex falling 250 points, Nifty slipping below 25,750.
Mumbai/IBNS: The Indian stock market ended lower on Tuesday after the benchmark indices had surged in the previous session, media reports said.
The BSE Sensex opened on a positive note but soon erased early gains and slipped into negative territory.
The NSE Nifty 50 also ended in the red, settling 57.95 points down at 25,732.30.
Defence stocks were among the biggest losers, with Solar Industries, Zen Technologies and DCX Systems witnessing sharp declines.
Sectorally, Nifty Bank bucked the weak trend, gaining 128 points to close at 59,579, while the Nifty Midcap index fell 119 points to 59,598.
Meanwhile, shares of Eternal Ltd., the parent company of Zomato and Blinkit, surged 3 percent on Tuesday after the company released its latest shareholding pattern on Monday evening.

Eternal’s shares had recently seen a correction from record highs amid investor concerns over the profitability of its multiple business verticals, reports added.
