The benchmark BSE Sensex closed down 0.34 percent at 39,140.28, while the broader NSE Nifty ended 0.29 percent lower at 11,752.8. But both indexes finished the week, truncated due to holidays, about 1-1.2 percent higher.
The Nifty PSU Bank Index fell 2.1 percent to its worst close in over three weeks.
Jet Airways Ltd plunged 31.5 percent in its worst session ever after it halted all flight operations indefinitely on Wednesday as its lenders rejected its plea for emergency funds.
