NEW DELHI: Equity indices plunged in morning trade on Monday with the benchmark BSE sensex falling over 600 points, dragged mainly by banking stocks as nine bank unions called for a two-day nationwide strike.

Banking stocks plunged amidst reports that operations across the country could be impacted as United Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) called for a two-day nationwide strike.
The strike has been called to protest against the proposed privatisation of two state-owned lenders.
Services such as deposits and withdrawal at branches, cheque clearance and loan approvals could be affected due to the strike.
Meanwhile, broader global markets were trading higher, as investors bet on a faster economic recovery after the signing of a $1.9 trillion US stimulus bill into law last week.
