The market fell for the fourth consecutive session on January 21 as bears tightened their grip over Dalal Street. The BSE Sensex corrected more than 400 points to 59,037, while the Nifty50 declined 140 points to 17,617, weighed by selling pressure across sectors, barring FMGC.

IT, Pharma, Private Bank and Metal indices were down 1.5 percent to 2 percent, while the PSU Bank index plunged 3 percent. The broader markets witnessed more selling pressure than frontline indices as the Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 indices were down more than 2 percent each.

Stocks that were in focus include Shoppers Stop, which hit a fresh 52-week high of Rs 425 before closing with 4.58 percent gains at Rs 378.05, Sharda Cropchem, which touched a 52-week high of Rs 409.80 before closing 4 percent higher at Rs 379.3, and Sun Pharma Advanced Research Company, which climbed to a new 52-week high of Rs 337.85 before closing 0.3 percent higher at Rs 322.15.

Among others, Hitachi Energy India hit a record high of Rs 3,210.15 before closing with 7.41 percent gains at Rs 3,030.75, and Bajaj Auto which was the top gainer in the Nifty50, rising 3.36 percent to Rs 3,419.80.
