At 11:05 hours, the 30-share barometer index of Bombay Stock Exchange, Sensex was at 28,109.79, down by 42.61 points or 0.15 per cent while the NSE Nifty was at 8,658.65, down by 13.5 points or 0.16 per cent.

Meanwhile, Just Dial and Power Grid will be in focus today as they reveal their April-June 2016 quarter earnings.
