Sensex loses 300 points; Nifty down by 85 points
The BSE Sensex on Friday fell by 300.65 points to 25,489.57, while the NSE Nifty dropped 85.50 points to 7,814.90, after industrial production in March plunged to 0.1% and retail inflation jumped to 5.39% in April. A weak trend on other Asian bourses, tracking overnight losses in the US and European markets, also weighed on the trading sentiment, analysts said.
