(RTTNews) - Indian shares fell for a second consecutive session on Thursday, though markets ended off their day's lows, helped by positive cues from global markets and gains in rupee alongside its Asian peers.

Both the Sensex and Nifty fell nearly 1 percent in the afternoon before recouping some losses.

Bajaj Finance plunged 7.2 percent after the company reported lower than expected assets under management (AUM) growth for the quarterly ended December 31.

Bajaj Finserv lost 5.2 percent while Titan, Infosys and ICICI bank dropped 1-2 percent.

Among the top gainers, JSW Steel, Hindustan Unilever, ITC, Bajaj Auto and Cipla all rose around 2 percent.
