The fall came as the broader market remained weak. The benchmark BSE Sensex dropped 2,368.29 points, or 2.91 percent, during the week.
Market experts said investor sentiment was affected by rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia and a sharp increase in global crude oil prices. These factors created uncertainty in global markets and led to cautious trading by investors.
