NEW DELHI: Losses in Indiabulls Real Estate (down 2.37 per cent), Phoenix Mills (down 1.09 per cent), Brigade Enterprises (down 1.05 per cent) and DLF (down 0.52 per cent) were keeping the Nifty Realty index under pressure during Friday's trade. The Nifty Realty index was trading 0.31 per cent down at 290 around 12:50 pm. However, shares of Unitech (up 6.06 per cent), Prestige Estates Projects (up 1.14 per cent), Godrej Properties (up 0.30 per cent) and Sobha (up 0.11 per cent) were in the green.
