Gains in IT and metal stocks partially offset the losses. Sequent Scientific surged over 14% after announcing a merger with Viyash Life Sciences. ​Despite the decline in blue-chip indices, the market capitalisation of all listed companies on the BSE surged by Rs 77,280 crore to Rs 477.92 lakh crore.
