Stock market update: These stocks plunged up to 5% on NSE on Friday

NEW DELHI: Shares of Castrol India (down 5.17 per cent), JBF Industries (down 4.97 per cent), Bhushan Steel (down 4.93 per cent), Kwality (down 4.89 per cent) and Edelweiss Financial Services (down 4.84 per cent) plunged up to 5 per cent on NSE on Friday, featuring among the top losers of the day.

The two-day rally in the market came to a halt on Friday as key indices Nifty and Sensex finished almost flat since gains in Sun Pharma, Reliance Industries and Infosys were offset by losses in HDFC, HDFC Bank and ITC.

A fresh fall in Indian rupee and a surge in oil prices dented the sentiment.


Weak global cues also kept market mood subdued as investors remained cautious ahead of the meet of G7 leaders on Friday.

The Sensex slipped 19 points, or 0.05 per cent, to stop at 35,444, with 18 stocks falling and 13 advancing.

The Nifty settled flat at 10,768, with 24 stocks in the green and 26 in the red.

Hindalco Industries, Power Grid Corporation, HDFC, BPCL, HPCL, Grasim Industries and Mahindra & Mahindra remained the top Nifty losers.
