ONGC (down 4%) was the top Sensex loser, followed by Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, and IndusInd Bank (all down 3%). On the other hand, HDFC Bank gained over 2 percent after recording an 18 percent rise in net profit at Rs 8,758.3 crore in the December quarter of the current fiscal year (Q3FY21), driven by robust growth in net interest income and other income.

The Nifty sectoral indices were trading largely in the red, with the Nifty Metal index, down 3 per cent, leading the list of losers.
