HFCL, another equipment and cable manufacturer, also featured prominently among the losers.<\/p>\n<p>State-run telecom names MTNL and ITI extended their declines as well, continuing a pattern of underperformance that has characterised these legacy public sector telecom entities.

The divergence suggests equipment supply chain concerns rather than a broad telecom sector issue.
