At around 10:40 AM, Nifty IT was trading at 32,834.40 lower by 1,279.90 points or 3.75%. The index has touched an intraday high and low of 33,396.25 and 32,675.70 respectively. On the Nifty IT index, all stocks were in red zone with the downside ranging from 3% to nearly 6%.

Heavyweight Mindtree was the top bear nosediving by 5.5% followed by Coforge slipping 5.2%. Tech Mahindra also dipped over 5%.
