Shares of Eternal Healthcare Ltd, State Bank of India (SBI), HDFC Bank Ltd, Larsen & Toubro Ltd, and Reliance Industries Ltd were among the top gainers on Friday.
On the other hand, Infosys Ltd, NTPC Ltd, Asian Paints Ltd, HCL Technologies Ltd, and Tech Mahindra Ltd ended as the biggest losers.
Equity benchmarks ended lower as global trade concerns resurfaced. The BSE Sensex declined 182.01 points or 0.22 per cent to close at 81,451.01, while the NSE Nifty 50 fell 82.90 points or 0.33 per cent to 24,750.70.

Eternal Healthcare led the session with a 4.58 per cent rise, closing at ₹238.75. SBI gained 1.89 per cent to ₹812.40, driven by optimism in banking sector performance.
HDFC Bank added 0.81 per cent to ₹1,944.60, while Larsen & Toubro rose 0.64 per cent to ₹3,678.60. Reliance Industries edged up 0.24 per cent to ₹1,420.80.

NTPC declined 1.49 per cent to ₹334.25, and Infosys ended 1.43 per cent lower at ₹1,562.80.
