Indian equities on Tuesday (Jan 13) ended the day on a negative note.
The BSE barometer opened weak following global cues, but better-than-expected results from technology giant Infosys turned out a good enough trigger for the stock market to make recovery after an early setback.
IT stocks outperformed, while banking, metal and oil & gas stocks went down.
Among the sectoral indices, BSE IT climbed 4.71%, whereas BSE Oil & gas, Bankex and Metal declined more than 1% each.
