IT stocks fell across the board, with LTIMIndTree, HCL Technologies, Infosys, Wipro and Tech Mahindra falling 1-2 percent.

KEC International soared 5.4 percent on bagging new orders of Rs 1,061 crore across its various businesses.

Raymond surged over 4 percent after it has been selected as the "Preferred Developer" for redevelopment of MIG VI CHS Ltd located in Bandra East.

Pavna Industries jumped 4 percent after acquiring a land parcel in Pantnagar, Uttarakhand for its upcoming greenfield plant.
