Bharti Airtel, TCS, Adani Ports, Bajaj Auto and Infosys were top gainers while Reliance, Maruti, Hindalco, NTPC and ONGC were losers in the Sensex. 3:10 pm Market outlook: 

Despite the Japanese yen appreciating, SBICAP Securities maintains its outstanding buy call on Maruti on back of recent product launches and growing market share, said Mahantesh Sabarad, Deputy-VP of SBICAP.

 A big positive for Maruti would be strong fourth quarter numbers with margins of over 15 percent.
