Reuters Market Eye - Indian's equity markets are likely to remain under stress on the back of the latest RBI measures to drain out liquidity from the market.

Reserve Bank of India announced more liquidity tightening measures after markets closed on Thursday to address volatility in the foreign exchange markets.

The Nifty has lost 7.3 percent since the central bank first announced the liquidity draining measures on July 15.

Morgan Stanley said RBI's cash tightening measures last month have made shares much more vulnerable to global cues.

Companies will also continue to report earnings, including Oil and Natural Gas Corporation , State Bank of India and Mahindra and Mahindra .
