The others which lost were IndusInd Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and HDFC. Those which showed marginal gains were Bharti Infratel, Coal India, Dr Reddy's, Hindustan Lever and Britannia.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia Pacific shares outside Japan was down by 0.39 per cent, its weakest performance since December 4. Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped by 0.32 per cent.
