Adan Green rallied 2.6 percent after Qatar Investment Authority acquired a 2.7 percent of its equity at Rs. 920 each for a total amount of Rs. 3,956 crore.

PB Fintech tumbled after posting a narrower Q1 net loss.

Godrej Consumer Products dropped 1.4 percent on reporting a 7.6 percent fall in quarterly net profit.

Max Healthcare fell more than 3 percent despite Q1 profit rising 27 percent year-on-year.
