The benchmark indices were trading largely flat taking cues from their Asian counterparts.
Among economic data, the country's Industrial activity expanded 7.5 per cent in January, up from 7.1 per cent in December. This is the third straight month that industrial output has expanded by more than 7 per cent, suggesting economic activity is gaining as the effects of demonetisation and the goods and services tax (GST) dissipate.
Retail inflation, measured by the consumer price index (CPI), moderated to a four-month low of 4.4 per cent in February, aided by a fall in the price of pulses and moderation in vegetables, led by onion. The CPI rise was 5.07 per cent in January. Headline inflation is now lower than the Reserve Bank’s monetary policy committee (MPC)’s forecast of 5.1 per cent for the March quarter.
In the global markets, Asian stocks stalled on Tuesday as Wall Street shares lost steam, while the dollar sagged on the back of declining US yields.
Japan’s Nikkei shed 0.2 per cent, with shares in steelmakers and automakers still battered by concerns about US tariffs on imported steel and aluminium.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 157.13 points, or 0.6%, to 25,178.61. The S&P 500 index fell 3.55 points, or 0.1%, to 2,783.02. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index was up 27.51 points, or 0.4%, to 7,588.32.
