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
