At 9:35 am, the BSE S & P Sensex was down by 47 points at 39,977 while the Nifty 50 opened around 11, 650.
Under Nifty, the top losers are Wipro which slipped by - 3.74 per cent, Britannia (-2.44 per cent), Zee Entertain (-2.59), Yes Bank (-1.45 per cent) and Tech Mahindra (-1.56 per cent).
Under Sensex, Yes Bank has been placed at the top of the table with -1.60 per cent, IndusInd Bank (-1.52 per cent), TCS (-1.20 per cent), Maruti Suzuki (-0.91 per cent) and Infosys (-0.88 per cent).
