Greek voters overwhelmingly rejected terms of a rescue package. The ECB may keep keep a tight funding grip on Greek banks after 'no', sources said. Companies that get at least more than a third of their revenues from Europe fell.
Tata Steel (-1.9%), Motherson Sumi Systems (-2.6%), Havells India (-0.19%), Bharat Forge (-1.97%) and Cox & Kings (-2.2%) were among the major losers. Some traders are worried that Greece default may lead to working capital constraints and demand slowdown.
