The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex slumped 767 points, or 0.9 percent, to 80,684 in early trade while the broader NSE Nifty index fell 204 points, or 0.8 percent, to 24,548.

Among the prominent decliners, Tech Mahindra, HCL Technologies and HDFC Bank were down around 2 percent each.

Tata Motors dropped 1 percent on reporting 9 percent drop in May sales.

Dr Reddy's Laboratories fell about 1 percent amid an ongoing patent infringement suit filed by Novo Nordisk A/S over the patent of blockbuster diabetes medication.
