Market Live: Sensex falls nearly 400 points Sikka’s move; Nifty below 9800

TCS, HUL, Bharti Infratel and BPCL gained the most on both indices, while Infosys, Sun Pharma, and Zee Entertainment were the top losers.

According to a CNBC-TV18 alert, the fall in Infosys contributed to almost 65 percent to the Nifty’s losses, while the stock collectively eroded market cap worth Rs 27,000 crore.

12:40 pm Expert Speak: VK Sharma, Head - Private Client Group, HDFC Securities said this in a statement.

"Sikka’s exit draws a long drawn out board room battle to a close. While the company did better than the industry during Sikka’s tenure, it was no where near achieving Sikka’s own $20 bn target by 2020. The forthcoming buy back may belay the stock from falling more. Sikka’s allegation that he was continuously being distracted does not wash as he had long enough a honeymoon period to make his mark."

12:28 pm Infosys' m-cap tanks: The fall in Infosys' stock has led to a steep fall in the market capitalisation of the company. It fell over Rs 16,600 crore on the back of the fall in the stock.

As of closing price on Thursday, Infosys had a market cap at Rs 2,34,554.78 crore. Meanwhile, this figure came down to Rs 2,17,924.74 crore.

11:55 am FII View: Small correction can be possible but the major fall is unlikely in the market as it has strong liquidity support (from FIIs as well as DIIs), Inderjeet Bhatia of Macquarie Research said.

He is not worried if the market corrects 3-5 percent from hereon, especially after more than 20 percent rally since the beginning of current calendar year.

He advised buying on every correction as fundamentals of the economy are strong and earnings recovery will start from second half of FY18 and will be strong in next financial year.
