Other IT stocks were having a bad day in trade with Infosys and TCS among the losers. Banking stocks were also seeing selling pressure despite a good set of results from Axis Bank.

Mid cap shares were also lower in line with the indices with stocks like Bank of India, Crisil and Havells among the major losers.

Meanwhile, markets across Asia were trading with losses on weak global cues awaiting the outcome of a 2-day US Fed meet later this week.
