The index had hit an intra-day low of 16,712.33 points in the afternoon, but recouped some losses in the last minutes of the trade.
Out of the 30 Sensex stocks, only three were in the green, while all others were ruling in the negative territory.
At the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the S&P CNX Nifty fell below the 5,000-mark to close at 4,987.75 points, with a loss of 1.32 percent, data with the exchange showed.
Broader market indices also closed in the red, with the BSE midcap index ruling 1.67 percent lower and the BSE small cap index 1.08 percent.
