Mumbai, Sep 3 (IANS) The Sensex on Tuesday fell over 400 points during the early trade session as investors reacted to the lower-than-expected GDP growth rate numbers released on Friday.

Except for the export-oriented IT stocks, all other Nifty sectoral index traded lower.
At 9.32 a.m., the Sensex was down 402 points at 36,930.66. The benchmark Sensex opened at 37,181.76 from its previous close of 37,332.79.
