The BSE barometer fell by 35.32 points to 19,930.68, following a steep fall in Reliance Industries and BHWL stocks. The index touched an intra-day high of 20,095.69 points and a low of 19,834.01 points.

The National Stock Exchange index Nifty also lost 13.70 points at 5,960.60, after touching the day's high of 6,015.30 and a low of 5923.35 points.

However, a steep rise in sectors such as realty, consumer durable, banking and PSU saved the market from any major fall.
