Tech Mahindra, HCL Technologies and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries were the top gainers on the Sensex, while the major losers were HDFC, Hindustan Unilever and Maruti Suzuki India.

Manish Hathiramani, technical analyst, Deen Dayal Investment said: “Once again the index has opened on a tepid note. The range bound movement of the Nifty is challenging and testing the patience of traders. Until we do not get past either level of this range which is currently between 15,400 and 15,900, we will not witness momentum and a one-sided trading opportunity.”
