Reuters Market Eye - The BSE Sensex is down 0.38 percent while the broader Nifty falls 0.5 percent. Hindustan Unilever falls 5.46 percent after J.P. Morgan and Macquarie downgrade their ratings, citing the prospect of slowing revenue.

Lenders extend recent falls ahead of RBI's policy review on Tuesday: HDFC Bank is down 1.4 percent, while State Bank of India falls 1.2 percent.

However, Wipro Ltd gains 6.7 percent after the software services exporter issued dollar revenue guidance that was above estimates.
