Indian equity indices ended marginally lower in yet another volatile session on June 19 with Nifty finishing below 24,800 amid selling across the sectors barring auto.

After a flat-to-negative start, the market witnessed a rangebound movement throughout the session amid mixed global markets after Fed held rates steady with projection of higher inflation and slower growth. The rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East also weighed on investor sentiment.

At close, the Sensex was down 82.79 points or 0.10 percent at 81,361.87, and the Nifty was down 18.80 points or 0.08 percent at 24,793.25.

Broader indices underperformed the main indices with BSE Midcap and Smallcap falling more than 1.5 percent each.

Tata Consumer, Eicher Motor, M&M, Wipro, Dr Reddy's Laboratories were among major gainers on the Nifty, while losers were Adani Ports, Bajaj Finance, Shriram Finance, Tech Mahindra and Adani Enterprises.

Among sectors, except auto, all other indices ended lower with IT, media, metal, realty, oil & gas, pharma, telecom and PSU Bank down 0.5-2 percent.
