Indian stocks record lowest close in over a year

[MUMBAI] Indian stocks ended nearly 1 per cent lower on Wednesday, recording their lowest close in over a year on global risk aversion stoked by weak manufacturing data from China, the United States and Europe.

The benchmark BSE index lost 0.95 per cent to close at 25,453.56 points, its lowest close since Aug 8, 2014.

The broader NSE index ended 0.88 per cent lower at 7,717 points, its lowest close since Aug 11, 2014.
