NEW DELHI: Shares of KSS (down 16.67 per cent), MVL (down 11.11 per cent) and Talwalkars Better Value Fitness (down 10 per cent) were among the top losers on NSE during the early trade on Monday.
Stocks such as Alok Industries (down 9.76 per cent), Rane Brake Lining (down 9.25 per cent), UCO Bank (down 8.31 per cent), Vadivarhe Speciality Chemicals (down 7.25 per cent), N K Industries (down 6.27 per cent), Bil Energy Systems (down 6.25 per cent), Goldstone Technologies (down 6.07 per cent), Ganges Securities (down 5.74 per cent) and Antarctica (down 5.56 per cent) declined over 5 per cent on NSE.
Equity benchmarks opened on a negative note on Monday, with Sensex falling nearly 300 points to crack below the 34,000-mark amid weak Asian cues after a US-led strike on Syrian targets fuelled fresh geopolitical concerns.
However, bourses pared some losses on account of buying in select pharma, FMCG and financial stocks.
The NSE Nifty index was trading 13 points down at 10,468, while the BSE Sensex was down 51 points at 34,141 around 10:50 am (IST).
Among the 50 stocks in the Nifty index, 24 were trading in the green, while 26 were in the red.
Cipla, Grasim Industries, Lupin, Indiabulls Housing Finance and Tata Consultancy Services were among the top gainers in the Nifty pack.
However, Infosys, Tata Motors, Axis Bank, Vedanta and GAIL were among the top losers in the Nifty index.
