(RTTNews) - Indian shares eked out modest gains in cautious trade on Wednesday.

The symposium will feature meetings by global central bank leaders as well as a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

Also, cues from Asia and Europe were mostly positive due to a build-up in expectations over Nvidia's earnings release later in the day.

Among the top gainers, Hindalco rallied 2.3 percent on news it would invest up to Rs 2,000 crore to set up a "first of its kind" of copper and e-waste recycling unit in India.

Larsen & Toubro, Divis Laboratories, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank rose 1-2 percent.
