One third of companies report Loss

Apart from the slower growth in sales, the poor performance in the third quarter is also attributed to 755 companies reporting a net loss of Rs 12,327 crore

Investors fleeing India

The aversion to Indian equities among global investors remains, amid deteriorating government finances and uncertainty over corporate earnings and economic growth. These investors pulled out money from Indian stocks for the fifth straight week ending February 18, according to international fund tracker EPFR Global.
