Sensex directionless; L&T, BHEL, Maruti, JP Associates jump
Indian equity benchmarks were hovering around their previous closing values. Capital goods, power, metals and Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group's stocks were witnessing buying interest. However, the sell-off in Infosys, Reliance Industries, Bharti, TCS, HDFC and HDFC Bank has limited the upside. The 30-share BSE Sensex was trading at 16154.92, up just 3.47 points and the 50-share NSE Nifty rose 5.65 points to 4,855.15.
Rajat Rajgarhia, head of research at Motilal Oswal Securities said, the market have factored in all the negatives right now. The current level of 16,000 is quite good enough for the market to sustain, he added.
From the capital goods space, L&T and BHEL rallied 1.5-2%. Jaipraksh Associates shot up 3%.
Maruti Suzuki gained 2% as workers’ problem at its Manesar plant has been solved. From the metal space, Tata Steel, Hindalco and Sterlite Industries were up 1% each.
Major largecaps like ONGC and NTPC were marginally in the green.
However, heavyweights Reliance Industries, TCS, Bharti Airtel and Infosys fell 0.6-1%. Wipro, HDFC and HDFC Bank lost 0.3-0.5%.
Tata Motors was the biggest loser among largecaps - tumbled 3%.
About 766 shares advanced as against 483 shares declined on National Stock Exchange.
