<h1>Major private bank's 3% profit drop triggers Sensex fall of 651 points, Nifty down 192</h1> Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty fell sharply on Friday due to foreign fund outflows and disappointing quarterly earnings. The Sensex dropped 651 points to 81,608, while Nifty declined 192 points to 24,918. Banking stocks were particularly affected after a major private bank reported lower-than-expected quarterly results, with its consolidated net profit falling 3% due to changes in non-performing asset policies. The bank's stock tumbled nearly 5%, dragging down other banking stocks and the banking index by 1.33%. Foreign institutional investors sold equities worth Rs 3,694 crore on Thursday, contributing to market weakness. Despite the decline, some technology and steel stocks posted gains. Asian markets showed mixed performance, while US markets ended higher.
