Then, heavy losses in the FMCG, telecommunication, and banking sectors forced the indices to reverse their earlier gains, dragging them down. Despite this, BSE Auto and BSE Metals were the top-performing sectors, both rising more than 0.70 per cent in an otherwise sluggish market. 

At 12.45 pm, BSE Sensex declined 0.38 per cent, reaching a level of 59,601. Nifty 50 index lost 0.36 per cent to the 17,666 level.
