Indian shares ended marginally lower on Thursday, falling for a third consecutive session as wary investors shied away from IT stocks ahead of Tata Consultancy Services Ltd's earnings. Both the BSE index and the NSE index ended the day 0.41 percent lower. The April-June earnings season is expected to start on a muted note with earnings of IT companies such as TCS, which is India's biggest software services exporter, expected to be hurt by client-led delays and the dollar's strength.
Exporters were also weighed down by the ongoing volatility in global markets amid the stocks slump in China and Greece's debt crisis. The NSE's sub-index for software companies was down 1.2 percent. "I think the buying interest is not coming, in light of the kind of global onslaught happening in equity markets," said Deven Choksey, managing director of KR Choksey Securities.
Choksey said the performance of the Indian IT sector would be muted for some time. Software stocks led the declines. Infosys Ltd was down 1.8 percent, TCS fell 2 percent and HCL Technologies lost 1.6 percent. Essar Oil fell as much as 10 percent, giving up intraday gains of as much as 5 percent as Rosneft's plan to buy a stake in the company's Vadinar refinery disappointed investors, who had expected it to buy a stake in Essar Oil.
Tata Motors Ltd was down 1.9 percent after Wednesday's 6 percent slump on continued worries over unit Jaguar Land Rover's sales in China amid the stock market rout there. Among the gainers, Bhushan Steel Ltd surged 20 percent, hitting its daily upper limit, on news that majority of its lenders had approved a plan to recast its debt.
