Indian share prices fell 0.24 percent on Wednesday as the latest monthly figures for industrial growth in the economy showed a sharp decline, dealers said. They said buying interest waned on the figures. India's July industrial output rose 7.1 percent from the same month a year ago, a sharp decline from June's gain of 9.8 percent.
The 30-share Mumbai stock exchange Sensex fell 37.41 points to 15,505.36. "The markets turned weak after India's industrial data raised concerns of a slowdown," said Hiten Mehta, a fund manager with Fortune Financial Services.
