However, auto stocks were the ones that clearly lost ground, as there were hopes that some policy measures would be announced by the government over the weekend. Tata Motors, Eicher Motors, Maruti and Hero Motor Corp were all trading lower.

Pharma stocks were the only ones that were seeing some buying support in trade.

Shares of Equitas Holdings dropped as much as 7 per cent, after the Reserve Bank of India on Friday denied an extension of the deadline to Equitas Small Finance Bank for its listing on the bourses.

Meanwhile, the Indian rupee opened the week flat, at 71.71 on Monday against Friday's close of 71.72 per dollar. Asian markets were having a very quite session in trade as Dow Futures were marginally higher. The Japanese Nikkei, The Shanghai Composite and the Hong Kong's Hang Sang were all seeing very small gains.
