Negative global cues and a weakened rupee depressed the Indian equity markets during the mid-afternoon trade session on Tuesday. Besides, scrips of Tata Group's subsidiaries pared some of their initial losses during the mid-afternoon trade session, but still traded in the red, a day after Cyrus P Mistry was removed as the Chairman of Tata Sons. The BSE market breadth was firmly in favour of the bears -- with 1,439 declines and 1,351 advances. On the NSE, there were 694 advances, 925 declines, 266 unchanged.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

CNX Nifty traded with bearish sentiments due to profit booking. IT, banking, auto and oil-gas stocks faced profit booking at higher levels, pointed out market analysts. However, pharma, textile, aviation and media entertainment stocks traded firm on buying support from traders. Broadly negative Asian markets and an appreciation in the US dollar, as well as lower than expected quarterly results, lent a weak bias, observed market analysts.

Tata Sons is the holding company of the Tata Group. Shares of various subsidiaries of the industrial conglomerate fell in a range of about 1%-4% during the initial part of the Tuesday's trade. At the BSE, shares of major firms like Tata Motors and Tata Steel pared some of their initial losses, but still traded in the red. Tata Steel shares closed at Rs414.75, down 2.65% on the BSE.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions


The Supreme Court on Tuesday told liquor baron Vijay Mallya to disclose in full the assets he holds overseas including the details of the $40 million he got from Diageo in February. Such strictness in dealing with promoters is likely to help the public sector banks in general on their own NPAs (non-performing assets). Bank Nifty closed at 19,834.90, up 0.14% on Tuesday. The government expects the entire Insolvency and Bankruptcy Law to become operational by end-December, Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said on Tuesday. 

Telecom tower firm Bharti Infratel on Monday reported close to 31% jump in its consolidated net profit to Rs773.80 crore for the quarter ended September 30 compared with Rs591.60 crore for the same period a year ago. The company's income from operations grew nine per cent year-on-year to Rs1,496.30 crore during the second quarter of this fiscal from Rs1,372.60 crore in the same period last fiscal, according to a BSE filing. The company, in a release, said its consolidated revenues for the quarter stood at Rs3,292 crore, which grew by 8% over the corresponding period last year.
