NEW DELHI: Realty stocks such as DLF (down 4.22 per cent), Indiabulls Real Estate (down 3.58 per cent) and Unitech (down 3.40 per cent) tanked over 3 per cent in Friday's trade, causing the Nifty Realty index crack over 2 per cent.

The Nifty Realty index was trading at 279, down 2.10 per cent around 11.12 am (IST).

Shares of Prestige Estates Projects (up 0.78 per cent), Phoenix Mills (up 0.35 per cent) and Godrej Properties (up 0.27 per cent) were the three gainers in the index around that time.

The BSE Sensex slumped about 300 points to 32072 points in trade today on heavy selling in banking, financial, capital goods and FMCG stocks amid sustained foreign fund outflows and weak global cues.
