After trading on a flat-to-negative note for most part of the session, the key indices slumped in the last hour of trade with selling pressure on telecom, IT (information technology) and finance stocks. Markets anticipate a rise in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the retail inflation data in the month of January, analysts said. The government is scheduled to release the January data later in the day.

In December, India's retail inflation in December eased to 2.19% from 2.33% in November due to lower fuel prices.
