Midcap and smallcap shares were trading in the negative zone as Nifty Midcap 100 index slipped 2.62 per cent up and small-cap shares shed 2.41 per cent

New Delhi: The Indian benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, on Monday started trade with sharp cuts amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

Downbeat international sentiment, Brent Crude trading at $130 a barrel, and global shares sank as the risk of a US and European ban on Russian oil and delays in Iranian talks triggered what was shaping up as a major stagflationary shock for global markets.

At 9.45 am, the 30-share BSE Sensex was at 52,614, down 17,20 points, while the NSE Nifty moved 447 points lower to 15,797.

On the Sensex, top laggards were ICIC Bank, Maruti, Bajaj Finance, L&T, and Asian Paints, down up to 5 per cent. On the Nifty, Eicher Motors, Britannia, and Tata Motors were the additional losers.

On the flip side, a handful of stocks that managed to start in the green zone included metal and energy shares, including Coal India, ONGC, Tata Steel, and Hindalco, up to 2.5 per cent.
