MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Nifty closed at its lowest level this year on Monday as worries about weaker-than-average monsoon and foreign selling continued to hit blue chips such as Housing Development Finance Corp .

The Sensex fell 0.92 percent to 26,523.09, its lowest close since Oct. 20, 2014.

Meanwhile, the broader Nifty fell for a sixth consecutive session, ending down 0.87 percent to 8,044.15, its lowest close since Dec. 17.

HDFC fell 2.05 percent.
