In contrast, Asian Paints, Bajaj Finance, Hindustan Unilever and Bajaj Finserv were among the gainers.
Tata Motors is likely to exit the S&P BSE Sensex and the Nifty50 indices once the demerger process of its commercial vehicle (CV) and passenger vehicle (PV) businesses is complete, analysts at Nuvama Institutional Equities said.

Indian stock market benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty closed nearly one per cent higher, extending their winning streak for a second day. This rally was driven by softening crude oil prices, positive geopolitical developments, and significant buying in blue-chip IT stocks, despite a broader global tech sell-off.
