Shares in Tata Consultancy plunged 6 per cent, after reports that the company may see revenue loss from its BFSI (Banking, Financial Services and Insurance) business.

The shares were last trading at Rs 3100, down about 5.77 per cent, after dropping more than 6 per cent in early trade.

All other IT stocks including biggies like Infosys, Wipro and HCL Tech saw heavy selling pressure.
