FMCG stocks are trading in the red with Godrej Consumer Products and Lakshmi Energy being the biggest losers whereas Emami and Colgate are among the major gainers. As per a leading financial daily, Dabur is partnering with Sulabh International to promote awareness on personal hygiene and cleanliness. Under the partnership, Dabur will adopt six Sulabh public conveniences located in the slums in Delhi and undertake cleaning, maintaining, sanitation and hygiene checks at these locations. This is in line with large social initiatives announced by Hindustan Unilever and Reckitt Benckiser to promote personal hygiene and cleanliness under the Prime Minister's Swach Bharat campaign. The ideas behind these initiatives are popularizing the hygiene brands of these companies by associating them with social awareness programs. Dabur stock is currently trading down 0.6%.

Barring Infosys, most software stocks are trading negatively. HCL Tech and Wipro are the leading losers. India's fifth largest IT firm Tech Mahindra has announced the fourth quarter results for FY15. The company has reported a 39% QoQ fall in consolidated net profit due to higher employee costs and cross currency impact. The company's operating margin declined to 15.2% in the quarter. The topline however, grew 6.3% QoQ in rupee terms. Tech Mahindra is trading down 1%.
