Bharti Airtel ended up 3%. The telecom major has posted a 2.8% increase in net income at Rs 1,290 crore for the quarter ended March, with high growth in mobile data revenue. 

YES Bank surged nearly 8% after it reported 27% growth in net profit in the March 2016 quarter at Rs 702 crore, compared to Rs 551 crore in the corresponding quarter a year ago on the back of high net interest income (NII) and other income.

HCL Technologies slumped over 11% after it reported lower-than-expected 0.3% growth in consolidated net profit at Rs 1,926 crore for the quarter ended March 2016 (Q4) on a sequential basis.

INDIAN EQUITY MARKET OUTLOOK-20 APRIL 2016

INDIAN BENCHMARKS Bears likely to start the session on Dalal Street 

Indian shares are likely to open on a cautious note as the global cues look unsupportive with SGX Nifty trading 28 points lower.

Equity mutual funds add 43 lakh folios in FY16

Equity mutual funds witnessed an addition of over 43 lakh investor accounts or folios in 2015-16, primarily on account of robust contribution from smaller towns.

In comparison, equity mutual funds (MFs) added 25 lakh folios in the preceding fiscal.

Folios are numbers designated for individual investor accounts, though one investor can have multiple accounts.

Growing participation from retail investors, especially from small towns, huge inflows in equity schemes and several measures taken by Sebi have led to sharp increase in folios, Sebi Chairman U K Sinha had said last month.

The regulator has given extra incentives for those expanding into smaller cities.
