Future Retail and Ashok Leyland on the other hand are helping BSE Mid Cap Index to reduce losses.

The other mid-cap buzzers on Friday are TVS Motor, Exide Industries, IDBI, Bharat Forge and Amara Raja Batteries. 

Markets are expected to take breather after a stunning rally that made Sensex touch the level of 50,000 for the first time ever. 

Markets are also expected to react to the earnings of corporate India. Quality of earnings and the FPI flows will determine where the markets would head in near to medium term.
