Markets open flat; L&T down over 6%


ITC, Bharti Airtel, Infosys and Reliance Industries among the top gainers

After opening in red, the benchmark indices moved into the green territory on account of gains in heavyweights like ITC, Bharti Airtel, Infosys and Reliance Industries.

At 0920 hrs, the Sensex was up nine points at 25,999 and the Nifty was unchanged at 7749.

The broader markets were flat with a positive bias.

Sectors & Stocks

On the sectoral front, Capital Goods index was the top loser down 4% along with Realty and Metal indices down 0.4% each.
A 6% cut on L&T dragged the capital goods index lower as the performance of engineering and construction major’s core business in the June quarter disappointed the Street, as execution remained weak in the domestic business.
Apart from L&T, Sesa Sterlite, Hindustan Unilever, Tata Steel, BHEL, Maruti Suzuki and Sun Pharma were some of the notable names in red, down 0.2-2%.
Among the gainers was Bharti Airtel up 4% after reporting 61% year-on-year jump in consolidated net profit at Rs 1,108 crore for the first quarter.
