Indian benchmark indices started to trade on a highly negative note today (11th February 2022) a day after RBI's dovish policy had calmed the markets in line with the soured global sentiment on high US inflation data and rate hike fears. The BSE Sensex was down 657 points at 58,268, while the NSE Nifty was at 17,410, lower by 195 points.
Among the Sensex-30 shares, only NTPC was in the green, while IT majors Infosys, Wipro, HCL Tech and Tech M were the top losers, lower by over 2 percent each. Other losers included Bajaj Twins, HDFC, Dr. Reddy's, Kotak Bank, Titan, TCS, and ICICI Bank. On the Nifty, HeroMoto Corp, Cipla, and Eicher Motors were the additional top losers, down up to 1.6 percent.
In the broader markets, the BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices were also in the red territory, down 0.77 and 0.9 percent, respectively.
