Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 16 : Domestic indices opened flat on Tuesday morning as losses in financial and construction stocks dragged the key indices.

BSE Sensex opened 91 points lower to 62,254.21 while NSE Nifty dropped 16.70 points to 18,382.15 at 10.50 am on Tuesday morning.

The top gainers on Nifty 50 were Hindalco, Cipla, Divis Lab, Asian Paints and Infosys while the losers were Maruti, Mahindra & Mahindra, Apollo Hospitals, Adani Enterprises and Kotak Bank. HDFC and HDFC Bank were among the biggest laggard in the opening trade.
