Weak global cues, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis and crude prices surging to over $130 per barrel led to both indices ending lower for the fourth consecutive session.

Both Midcap and Smallcap indices tanked over 2 percent. India VIX gained 4.90 percent to end at 29.33 levels. With the exception of metal, all sectors ended in red.
