Indian stock markets ended Friday’s trading session, November 13, on a negative note, with both benchmark indices closing in the red amid selling pressure in select heavyweight stocks.
The BSE Sensex declined 318.56 points, or 0.39%, to settle at 81,592.45. The NSE Nifty 50 also witnessed losses, shedding 155.05 points, or 0.61%, to close at 25,144.30. With the latest decline, the Nifty slipped below the crucial 25,150 mark.
Shriram Finance, Grasim Industries among top Nifty losers
Among the Nifty 50 constituents, Shriram Finance and Grasim Industries emerged as the biggest losers of the session. Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, Hindalco Industries and Adani Enterprises were also among the top laggards.
Selling pressure in these stocks contributed to the weakness in the benchmark index, with the Nifty ending the session with a loss of more than 150 points.

Bharti Airtel, Eicher Motors among top gainers
On the other hand, some stocks managed to buck the broader market trend. Bharti Airtel, Eicher Motors, ONGC, Nestle India and Apollo Hospitals featured among the top gainers on the Nifty 50.
Despite gains in these select stocks, buying interest was not sufficient to lift the benchmark indices into positive territory, as the Sensex and Nifty ended the session lower.
