The market marginally declined amid consolidation in afternoon trade, dragged by banks and index heavyweights like Reliance Industries & Infosys.

The Sensex slipped 60.42 points to 28200.66 and the Nifty fell 19.75 points to 8551.15. The broader markets extended fall; the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices dropped 0.7 percent and 1 percent, respectively.

More than two shares declined for every share advancing on the Bombay Stock Exchange.

BHEL plunged over 3 percent. Shares of Infosys, Reliance Industries, State Bank of India, ICICI Bank and Wipro fell 1-1.7 percent. However, NTPC and Hindalco bucked the trend with 2.7 percent gains.
