BSE Mid Cap and BSE Small Cap indices are also trading in the red (down 0.7% each) . The rupee is trading at 61.73 to the US dollar.

Barring Sanofi India, all the MNC pharma stocks are trading in the red. According to a leading financial daily, US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer is expected to get three manufacturing facilities from Hospira in the country.

Meanwhile, Pfizer has only one facility in India and relies on third party manufacturers for local supplies. Pfizer is currently trading down by 0.2% on the BSE.

Software stocks are trading positive with Datamatics global and Rolta India leading the gains. However, Sasken Communication and Finacial Tech were facing selling pressure.
