Dr Reddy's was the biggest loser falling by 6.23 per cent. The Government's announcement of a stake sale of 10 per cent in Nalco and Nevyeli Lignite drove their shares up.
Rupee falls
The rupee slumped against the dollar to end below the 46-mark at 46.13 on heavy demand for dollars from corporates. Bond prices fell on fears of increasing inflation and hardening of interest rates. The yields on the benchmark 7.59 per cent 10-year paper crossed 8 per cent. "For the short term, the markets look good and correction may come in depending upon the last day of F&O trading and Fed rate hike next week,'' said Ms Shahina Mukadam, Head Research, IDBI Capital Markets Service Ltd.
