Amidst choppy trade, the Indian benchmarks edged higher in in late morning deal on Monday, paring early losses, helped by strong gain across broader markets with Mid cap and Small cap stocks rallying over 1 per cent each.

At 12:10 hours, the 30-share benchmark index was trading at 26395.44, up by 79.1 points or by 0.3 per cent, and the NSE Nifty was at 8133.4, up by 19.1 points or by 0.24 per cent.  

Shares of financial companies faced selling pressure on Monday after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) hiked the cash reserve ratio over the weekend. The central bank has introduced an incremental Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), the percentage of cash deposits that banks have to maintain with RBI, of 100 per cent for the fortnight beginning Saturday. This means banks will have to keep more money with the apex bank, while it would also suck out liquidity from the banking system.

Among the individual stock, Bharti Airtel rose over 3 per cent on the Bombay Stock Exchange after the telecom major said that its arm, International (Netherlands), has completed the acquisition of Econet Wireless' entire 4.2 per cent shareholding in Airtel Nigeria through a wholly-owned subsidiary.
