Kapur, who won the season's first effort in Kensville Challenge in Ahmedabad earlier this year, has now shot 73-73.
In the 42-man field, Kapur struck three birdies and four bogeys -- three in a stretch from fourth to eighth -- on the front side of the course, which was his second nine.
Jose-Filipe Lima continued his impressive form with a lowest-of-the-day round of 65 to take a share of the lead at the midway stage.
Earlier Sweden's Jens Dantorp and England's Robert Dinwiddie shot rounds of 67 for the second day in succession to lay down a marker which was met late in the day by Lima.
First round leader Daniel Gaunt endured a difficult start to his second round but rallied impressively on the back nine to sign for a round of 72 and join Denmark's Thomas Norret (69), Spain's Adrian Otaegui and American Brinson Paolini (both 70) at tied fourth on nine-under.
