Sensex, Nifty Extend Losses For Third Day; IT Stocks Climb After TCS Results

Tata Elxsi plummeted 6.8 percent as Q3 results missed Street estimates.

IREDA declined 5.8 percent despite the company reporting a 26.8 percent year-on-year growth in Q3 net profit.

Adani Wilmar plunged 10 percent on news that its founder will offload a 13.5 percent stake in the company through an Offer for sale.

Tata Consultancy Services soared 5.6 percent after the management guided for stronger growth in CY24 and FY26. Peers Wipro, Infosys, HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra surged 3-4 percent.
