On the other hand, Bajaj Auto, ONGC, Nestle India, HUL and Kotak Bank were among the laggards. According to traders, domestic bourses followed positive cues from global markets after US equities hit record highs in overnight session.
Persistent foreign fund inflows too buoyed investor sentiment here, they said. Exchange data showed that foreign institutional investors bought equities worth Rs 1,134.57 crore on a net basis on Tuesday.
Bourses in Tokyo and Seoul ended on a positive note, while Shanghai and Hong Kong were in the red. Stock exchanges in Europe were trading with steady gains in early deals.
Investors are also awaiting cues from the minutes of US Federal Reserve’s meeting. Global oil benchmark Brent crude was trading 0.66 per cent lower at USD 45.16 per barrel.
