Equity benchmark Sensex dropped over 185 points in early trade on May 31, tracking losses in index-heavyweights HDFC twins, Infosys, TCS and Reliance amid a weak trend in the Asian markets. The 30-share BSE index was trading 189.52 points or 0.37% lower at 51,233.36 in initial deals, and the broader NSE Nifty fell 43.20 points or 0.28% to 15,392.45. M&M was the top loser in the Sensex pack, shedding more than 5%, followed by Infosys, HDFC, IndusInd Bank, Tech Mahindra, L&T, NTPC and HCL Tech. In the previous session, Sensex ended 307.66 points or 0.60% higher at 51,422.88, and Nifty rose 97.80 points or 0.64% to 15,435.65. This might impact sentiments for Asian markets in general,” said V.K.
