(RTTNews) - Indian shares ended Tuesday's session modestly higher despite muted cues from global markets.

The broader NSE Nifty index settled 35.20 points, or 0.19 percent, higher at 18,633.85 led by financials.

The BSE mid-cap and small-cap indexes hit fresh 52-week highs before closing up around 0.2 percent each.

Bajaj Finance, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bajaj FinServ, HDFC Life and ITC climbed 1-2 percent in the Nifty pack, while Dr Reddy's Laboratories, Tech Mahindra, Tata Steel, Adani Enterprises and Hindalco all fell over 1 percent.
