Sensex Down Over 200 Points In Early Trade; Nifty Dips Below 15,250

(RTTNews) - Indian shares opened lower on Monday after U.S. stocks suffered their biggest weekly percentage decline in two years last week on concerns over high inflation and aggressive interest-rate hikes by major central banks.

Commodity-related stocks succumbed to selling pressure, with UPL. Coal India, Tata Steel, Hindalco and ONGC losing 3-5 percent.

Adani Wilmar tumbled 3 percent after slashing edible oil prices.

Nazara Technologies fell about 1 percent on news the gaming company is increasing its stake in Absolute Sports.
