Nifty falls to near one-month low on weak Asia

MUMBAI (Reuters) - (Corrects to say Nifty fell for a third consecutive day, not second, in paragraph 1)

The Nifty fell for the third consecutive day on Tuesday, down to its lowest in one month, as investors cashed out tracking a selloff in Chinese markets and hurt blue chips such as Oil and Natural Gas Corp.

The benchmark BSE Sensex provisionally fell 1.15 percent to 27,797.01, while the broader Nifty closed down 1.16 percent at 8,340.70.

Oil and Natural Gas Corp provisionally closed 4.2 percent lower.
