Sectorally, the weakness was widespread, with all indices except Nifty Pharma and PSU Bank opening in the red. IT and Realty stocks were among the worst hit, falling over 1.6 per cent each. Heavyweight laggards included Wipro, M&M, IndiGo, Hindalco, and Tata Steel, which led losses across sectors. Meanwhile, stocks like Nesco slipped 1.5 per cent after the company applied to surrender leased expressway sites, adding to negative sentiment.
