New Delhi: Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty declined in early trade on Tuesday as uninterrupted foreign fund outflows continued to hit investors' sentiment.

After a day's breather, the 30-share BSE benchmark Sensex declined 201.44 points to 75,795.42 in early trade. The NSE Nifty dipped 82.65 points to 22,876.85.

From the Sensex pack, Tata Steel, NTPC, IndusInd Bank, State Bank of India, UltraTech Cement and Tata Motors were among the biggest laggards.

Tech Mahindra, Maruti, Infosys, HCL Tech and Tata Consultancy Services were among the gainers.

The weakness in the market persists despite the mild recovery witnessed on Monday. The market construct doesn’t favour a rally in the market. FIIs arIn Asian markets, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong were trading in the positive territory.

Helped by fag-end buying on Monday, the Sensex climbed 57.65 points or 0.08 per cent to settle at 75,996.86, ending an eight-day losing run. The Nifty rebounded 30.25 points or 0.13 percent to 22,959.50.
