LTIMindtree, IndusInd Bank, Bajaj Finance, DLF, Cholamandalam Invest, Apollo Hospitals, Infosys, PNB, and UltraTech Cement were the top laggards.

Among the gainers were ONGC, JIO Financial Serv., IOCL, ICICI Lombard, Eicher Motors, Samvardhana Motherson, and Vedanta.

In Asian markets, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Hong Kong were all down.

US markets closed in negative territory on Monday.

Brent crude gained 0.58 percent to USD 90.62 per barrel.

According to exchange data, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold securities worth Rs 3,268 crore on Monday.

On Monday, the Sensex slid 845.12 points or 1.14 percent to 73,399.78, while the NSE Nifty dipped 246.90 points or 1.10 percent to 22,272.50.
