REUTERS - Indian shares snapped two sessions of gains to close lower on Wednesday after the Reserve Bank of India unexpectedly kept its repo rate unchanged, despite calls for action as an intense cash shortage threatens the economy.
The Nifty fell as much as 0.81 percent, before ending 0.50 percent lower at 8,102.05. The Sensex closed down 0.59 percent at 26,236.87.
Financials were among the biggest losers, before recovering some lost ground after the RBI said it would withdraw the temporary 100 percent hike in the cash reserve ratio announced late last month.
