The  NSE Nifty ended marginally lower by 6.90 points or 0.03 per cent at 24,141.30.

Asian Paints was the top loser in the Sensex pack, falling 8.06 per cent after the company reported a 43.71 per cent decline in consolidated net profit for the September quarter.

Rupees Hits New All-Time Low

The rupee pared early gains to end at 84.39 (provisional) against the US dollar on Monday, falling for the fourth consecutive session due to continued foreign fund outflows and a strong dollar. Forex traders said the rupee is likely to remain under pressure until the dollar index eases or foreign fund outflows reduce.
