Indian equities closed lower as realty, FMCG and technology shares weakened. Dabur India, Urban Company and Kalyan Jewellers were among the named top losers, while the Nifty FMCG index fell 1.60%.

Why this matters

The decline follows recent FSSAI actions asking Dabur to remove “100%” claims and halt sales of foods with unsubstantiated claims; a related notice previously sent Dabur shares down nearly 4%.
