REUTERS - Indian shares ended lower for the second consecutive session on Thursday as banking stocks fell on doubts over the likelihood of further rate cuts by the country's central bank. The Nifty closed down 0.67 percent at 10,013.65, while the benchmark Sensex was 0.74 percent lower at 32,237.88. ICICI Bank and State Bank of India ended down more than 2 percent each.
