Bears retained their control over Dalal Street for the sixth consecutive day, pulling the benchmark indices to a new 52-week low on June 17. The BSE Sensex fell more than 100 points to 51,360, and the Nifty50 declined 67 points to close a tad below 15,293.50, the lowest closing level since May 25, 2021.

India VIX, which measures the expected volatility in the market, fell marginally by 0.48 percent to 22.76 levels, but still above the crucial 20 mark which can bring volatile swings and support bears in the coming days.
