Meanwhile, Reliance Power Ltd, Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd and Bharti Airtel Ltd emerged as the Top Gainers of BSE in the pre-opening session today. 

Reliance Power Ltd, an S&P BSE company, surged 5.95 per cent to trade at Rs 27.62 apiece. The stock rallied as the company became a debt-free entity on a standalone basis clearing all outstanding dues to lenders.

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd rallied 5.63 per cent to trade at Rs 282.45 apiece. The company has not made any significant announcements of late. Hence, the rally in the share price could be driven purely by the market forces. 

Bharti Airtel Ltd, an S&P BSE company, climbed 4.44 per cent to trade at Rs 1,089.95 apiece. The stock rallied as the CLSA issued a 'buy' rating on stock with a target price of Rs 1,540 per share. Further, the company recently joined the $100 billion market cap club, driven by the success of its mobile business.
