Mid- and small-cap shares were also facing selling pressure as Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indexes dropped over a per cent.

Markets fell across the globe after Germany extended its lockdown until April 18 stoking fears of a longer road to economic recovery, analysts said. As of 12:07 pm, the Sensex was down 639 points at 49,412 and Nifty 50 index declined 188 points to 14,626. Back home, daily COVID-19 cases hit a more than four-month high on Wednesday.
