Indian equity benchmarks extended their decline for a second consecutive session on Tuesday, pressured by global uncertainties and continued foreign fund outflows. The BSE Sensex pack tumbled 1,065.71 points or 1.28 per cent to settle at 82,180.47, while the NSE Nifty index slipped 353 points or 1.38 per cent to close at 25,232.50. The weakness was broad-based, with broader markets also under heavy pressure as mid-cap and small-cap indices traded in the red, shedding up to 2.85 per cent.
