Broadly negative Asian markets, coupled with profit booking in capital goods, oil and gas and consumer durables stocks, pulled the key Indian equity indices lower to trade in the red during the mid-afternoon session on Monday. According to market observers, domestic macro-industrial output data point released on Friday and selling in index heavyweights like Coal India, ONGC, HDFC, Larsen and Toubro (L&T) and Tata Steel, among others, eroded investors' risk taking appetite. On the NSE, there were 623 advances, 1,060 declines and 303 unchanged. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
