Indian equities were trading with over half a per cent cut on Wednesday after a massive sell-off overnight on the Wall Street amid concerns over the Covid-19 spreading beyond China.

The S&P BSE Sensex was down 250 points, or 0.66 per cent, at around 40,000 levels. Tata Steel, Sun Pharma, Maruti Suzuki, and Infosys (down 1% each) were the top laggards in the Sensex pack. On the other hand, Nestle India and Hindustan Unilever were trading half a per cent higher each.

The broader Nifty50 index slipped below the 11,750 mark, down 87 points, or 0.74 per cent.

All the Nifty sectoral indices except Nifty FMCG index were in the red. Nifty Metal and Nifty Auto indexes, both down 0.8 per cent each, bled the most.

In the broader market, the S&P BSE MidCap index slipped 56 points, or 0.37 per cent, and the S&P BSE SmallCap index was down 10 points.
