Hindalco, UPL, Apollo Hospitals, Coal India, Tata Steel, Tata Motors, and Bharti Airtel were the top large-cap gainers, up between 1.5 per cent and 4.5 per cent. On the downside, Bajaj Finance, ONGC, Asian Paints, HCL Tech, Wipro, Adani Ports, and SBI fell over 1 per cent.

In the broader markets, the BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices fell 0.15 per cent each on the back of losses in Natco Pharma, Oil India, MRF, YES Bank, Everest kanto Cylinders, Dynemic Products, and Sequent Scientific.

Among sectors, the Nifty IT index slipped 0.9 per cent, while the Nifty Metal index advanced 1.6 per cent.
