Capital goods majors L&T and BHEL continue to bleed even as the market struggled to hold itself during the opening minutes of trading on the BSE today.

However, one stock that stood out even in an otherwise gloomy market was Patni Computers, which was on a song powered by the delisting announcement.

L&T was down by Rs 10.75 at Rs 1,226.05 and BHEL also was on a losing trail shedding Rs 3 to trade around Rs 295.75.

Among the major Sensex losers was Hero Motocorp that lost about Rs 23 to trade around Rs 2,081 and Infosys lost about Rs 14 to trade around Rs 2,761. Bajaj Auto was down by Rs 7.70 to trade at Rs 1,720.

The Sensex gainers were all up only marginally. DLF was up by Rs 4.35 at Rs 215.30. Tata Steel, NTPC and Sun Pharma were among the 12 Sensex stocks that were in the green, by a small margin.

Patni Computers, which is outside the Sensex, was up by Rs 35 and trading around Rs 423, an increase of 9.07 per cent. The stock was pushed up by the announcement that the shares of Patni are to be delisted resulting in buyback.
