The benchmark BSE index .BSESN closed 1.09 percent lower at 34,779.58 while the broader NSE index .NSEI ended 1.24 percent weaker at 10,453.05. Indian markets have been facing a liquidity crunch owing to a depreciating rupee and higher oil prices.

Reliance Industries Ltd RELI.NS dropped 1.1 percent ahead of the company's September quarter earnings due later in the day.
