Infosys, JSW Steel, Eicher Motors, Tech Mahindra and Hindustan Unilever all fell about 1 percent while Coal India, Hero Moto Corp, Bajaj Auto and BPCL all rose over 1 percent.

LIC Housing Finance tumbled 3.5 percent on reporting a 5 percent increase in Q4 net profit.

Bharti Airtel rose 0.6 percent after the telecom major beat estimates with a 50 percent surge in Q4 net profit.

Indian Oil Corp added 1.6 percent after its quarterly profit jumped 55 percent on the back of a rise in gross refining margins.
