In addition, Nifty Bank, Auto, Financial Services, Media, and Oil & Gas all settled in red. On the other hand, Nifty Realty gained 1.24 per cent, followed by Metal, Consumer Durable, FMCG, Energy, and Pharma.
Among the Sensex constituents, 22 out of 30 stocks settled in red. Tech Mahindra, Infosys, HCL Tech, Eternal, L&T, and TCS were the top laggards, falling up to 2.8 per cent. Tata Steel, Trent, Titan, Tata Motors, Ultratech, and Sun Pharma were the top gainers.
