"The domestic market continued its bullish run backed by gains in banking, power, realty and auto sectors. However, the indices gave away early gains following weakness in global peers due to rising commodity prices and the upcoming earnings season, compelling investors to trade cautiously," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
Maruti was the biggest gainer among the BSE 30-share benchmark frontline companies pack, rallying nearly 4 per cent, followed by PowerGrid, ITC and NTPC.
TCS was the biggest laggard, falling over 6 per cent, after the company's Q2 earnings missed street expectations.
