The Sensex falls 0.5 per cent, tracking lower Asian shares after the Fed refrains from further monetary stimulus measures and ahead of the ECB meeting later in the day.
The ECB statement is due at 11:45 GMT and the news conference is being held at 12:30 GMT.
The dollar stays broadly stronger against most major currencies including the euro with investors focusing on the ECB for any action that could revive risk appetite.
