New Delhi, Oct. 15 -- The Indian equity benchmarks concluded Tuesday's session in the red, succumbing to broad-based selling pressure and cautious global cues stemming from the renewed U.S.-China trade tensions.

Nifty 50 closed 82 points lower, or 0.32%, settling near 25,123, while Sensex dropped nearly 297 points. The day was marked by a significantly negative market breadth, with the overall advance-decline ratio on the NSE resting approximately at 0.37, reflecting a clear dominance of decliners over gainers. The overall outlook remains one of consolidation as the market awaits fresh domestic catalysts.
