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.
The broader Nifty was down 108.05 points or 0.98 per cent lower at 10,915.20.
India's GDP growth rate fell to a six-year low of 5 per cent for the April-June quarter.
