Indian Shares End Choppy Session Marginally Lower

(RTTNews) - Indian shares ended a choppy session marginally lower on Tuesday, as investors waited for trading to resume on Wall Street after Monday's Labour Day recess.

The broader NSE Nifty index slipped 10.20 points, or 0.06 percent, to 17,655.60.

Bajaj Finance, Mahindra & Mahindra, Britannia Industries, Bajaj FinServ and Tata Consumer Products fell 1-2 percent in the Nifty pack, while SBI Life, Shree Cement, NTPC, Bharti Airtel and Apollo Hospitals climbed 2-3 percent.

DreamFolks Services made a strong debut on exchanges, with the stock ending 42 percent higher at Rs. 462.85 on the NSE. The issue price was Rs 326 per share.
