FII Outflows

Persistent selling in IT stocks, coupled with foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows and profit booking, dragged the indices down.

Indian stock markets opened higher on March 17, with gains in pharma and auto sectors, supported by positive global cues.

The domestic benchmark indices closed flat on Thursday, hit by selling in IT, FMCG, metal, media, and private banking sectors.
