The Nifty came under pressure and slipped below 7500 to hit its fresh 52-week low of 7495.65, down 87.35 points or 1.15 percent.. It was weighed down by losses in realty, power, oil & gas, metal, consumer durable, and banking stocks. 


Experts are calling the meltdown as a correction in trade. They added that the third-quarter earnings of blue chip companies like TCS and Infosys, and key macroeconomic data of IIP and inflation will dictate the market trend this week.
