Jio Financial Services topped the gainers list to rally 5 percent while Hero MotoCorp, Tata Steel, Hindalco and UPL all rose about 2 percent.

Axis Bank, Dr Reddy's Laboratories, Hindustan Unilever and Bharti Airtel dropped 1-2 percent.

Reliance Industries shed 0.9 percent to extend losses for a fourth day running after its 46th AGM did not reveal any timelines regarding the telecom and retail IPOs.
