On March 23, HCL Tech emerged as the bench performer of the BSE Sensex benchmark index by gaining just 1.83 per cent. Powergrid, Infosys, and Tech Mahindra were the other gainers. The rest plunged, driving the index down 2.46 per cent at close.
The worst performers were Titan and Tent, both down by around 6 per cent, followed by UltraTech Cement, BEL, IndiGo, Tata Steel, HDFC Bank, and Adani Ports.
All 16 major sectors declined on the NSE too, with Nifty Metal slumping 4.8 per cent and the Auto index bearing down by 3.16 per cent.
Bank Nifty also ended the day 3.72 per cent lower.
HDFC Bank continued its value slump for the third straight session, sliding 4.65 per cent on Monday to close at ₹744.15 apiece, as it continued to catch shrapnel from the abrupt resignation of part-time chairman Atanu Chakraborty over ethical concerns last week.
