Equity benchmarks have seen heavy profit booking since yesterday and wiped out nearly 373 points today & 190 points on Sensex on Thursday while it had surged 485 points on Wednesday. The Nifty has been getting selling pressure whenever it starts inching towards all-time high.

The 30-share BSE Sensex closed at 20125, down 373 points and the Nifty was at 6062, down 115 points.

India's inflation unexpectedly accelerated, increasing pressure on the central bank to extend the most aggressive monetary policy tightening in Asia.
