Sensex, Nifty mark lowest close in six months; Tata Motors falls 13%

Indian shares ended lower on Tuesday at their lowest closing level since April, with market heavyweight Tata Motors Ltd dragging down the indexes amid weak global cues.

Tata Motors saw its worst day in nearly six years, closing 13.2 percent lower, following weak sales of Jaguar Land Rover in September.
