Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], Sep 23 (ANI): The rally on bourses continued during early hours on Monday with heavy buying by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) as well as domestic traders after the government on Friday announced big-bang fiscal stimulus on corporate tax cuts.

However, IT scrips lost with Infosys down by 3.4 per cent, Wipro by 2 per cent, Tata Consultancy Services by 1.9 per cent, HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra by 1.8 per cent each.
