Tech Mahindra shares fell sharply after the company reported a significant drop in net profit for the December quarter, driven by a decline in profit margins.

New Delhi, Jan 25 (PTI) Shares of Tech Mahindra on Thursday plunged over 6 per cent after the company reported a 60 per cent decline in net profit to Rs 510.4 crore for the December quarter, largely because of a sharp squeeze in profit margins.
The stock tanked 6 per cent to Rs 1,322 on the BSE.
It fell 6.24 per cent to Rs 1,320.05 on the NSE.
It was the biggest laggard among the Sensex and Nifty firms during the morning deals.
