Sensex, Nifty End Choppy Session Higher
(RTTNews) - Indian shares ended modestly higher on Monday after fluctuating earlier in the session owing to mixed global cues and a sharp retreat in oil prices last week.
India is facing multiple near-term challenges but the country is relatively better placed to weather these challenges because of its financial sector stability and its vaccination success in enabling the economy to open up, the finance ministry said in its monthly economic report today.
