BSE's SENSEX historical closing prices

Historical closing prices is a collective closing data (for SENSEX in this post) ie it consists of closing prices from last six months or so from benchmark stock index of India SENSEX thus it looked quite relevant to me for letting my visitors analyse the market trends by analysing the historical prices of SENSEX.
Adding new feature to my blog which consists of BSE's SENSEX historical Data.

(posted under Infosys results) - A 8.5 percent decrease in yoy profit forced Infosys stock selling by investors thus moving the stock price of India's second largest It services company down by over 2 percent at closing.

When the quartely results poured in Shares in Infosys were down 2 per cent at Rs 2,836.90. The 50-share NSE index was down 0.1 per cent at 5,376.80. This is OK, However the major reason for concern is that as attrition rate of Infosys has crossed 16 perc (which means that the most brilliant 16/100 have already left the company) so how it would deliver on time to the clients.
