    MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex fell for a third consecutive session on Wednesday, to mark its lowest close in almost two weeks after Larsen & Toubro slumped around 6 percent after its orderbook guidance sparked worries about the health of the domestic economy.

    Larsen and Toubro Ltd (LART.NS) ended down 5.71 percent, its biggest daily percentage fall since January 2010. Other blue-chips also fell, with Reliance Industries Ltd (RELI.NS) ending down 1.2 percent.

    The BSE Sensex fell 0.25 percent, while the 50-share Nifty ended down 0.32 percent.
