Meanwhile on Thursday, the BSE index fell 1.31 percent, which is the biggest fall in almost four months, and NSE recorded a loss of 0.27 percent, biggest since 13 February.
The figures were also affected when foreign investors sold shares at a much lower amount, compared to the strong buying earlier. The figures tumbled further below by afternoon with the expiry of monthly derivatives contracts.
DLF shares witnessed a fall of 4.1 percent, as it Q1 earnings didn't live up to the expectations and IT giant Infosys too recorded a fall of 7.9 percent, after its president and board member B.G.Srinivas resigned from office.
However, analysts believe that the figures will improve once the Reserve Bank of India reviews its policies and the new government brings about some reforms.
"We find this as a healthy correction. The election event is over and we have a stable government in place. I think, fresh position building will happen from next week as we have RBI policy and the parliament proceedings will start," Suresh Parmar, head, institutional equities at KJMC Capital Markets explained to Reuters.
"The undercurrent is still positive and we advise clients to get into good quality stocks at declines."
