Mahindra and Mahindra which is set to announce its results later today was marginally up. Lupin, which saw a sharp slump in its share price on Tuesday continued to fall. The company's quarterly numbers lagged estimates.

Motherson Sumi on the other hand was marginally lower, ahead of its results to be declared later today. Banking stocks like most of the markets were rather subdued seeing little direction in early trade.
