Sensex cut most of its losses to trade marginally lower during the afternoon session on Friday, 31 January, following the release of the government's Economic Survey.

Stating that growth has bottomed out, the Economic Survey projected India’s economic growth at 6 percent to 6.5 percent in the next financial year starting April 1.

After falling over 450 points from the day's high, the 30-share BSE index pared most losses to trade 6.61 points or 0.02 percent lower at 40,907.21. Similarly, the broader NSE was down 12.20 points, or 0.10 percent, at 12,023.60.
