Among the prominent decliners, Infosys, Titan Company, SBI Life, JSW Steel and Power Grid Corp fell 1-2 percent.

Metal stocks ended mostly lower on profit taking after rallying sharply in the previous session.

Tata Group stocks were in focus after Tata Capital, the financial services arm of the Tata Group, has started preparations for a $2 billion initial public offering (IPO).

Tata Investment Corp shares surged 4.2 percent, Tata Motors rallied 1.8 percent and Tata Chemicals soared 3.1 percent.

Biocon advanced 4.1 percent after receiving regulatory approval for a diabetics drug in the European Union.
