On the contrary, Hindustan Unilever, Bharti Airtel, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Tech Mahindra, Eicher Motors and IndusInd Bank finished the day as the top losers in the Nifty index.

A fresh rise in the Indian rupee against the US dollar and subsiding crude oil prices too influenced market mood.
The market rebounded a day after it was knocked down by macro woes as government data showed India's retail and wholesale-based inflation rising, raising speculations of further rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of India in its next policy meet.
The Sensex index finished 196 points, or 0.54 per cent, higher at 36,520, with 22 stocks in the green and 9 in the red.
The counterpart Nifty climbed 71 points, or 0.65 per cent, settling at 11,008, with 39 components advancing and 11 declining.
Among the sectoral indices, only Nifty FMCG failed to perform. The index closed 1 per cent down on losses in Hindustan Unilever, Colgate Palmolive (India), Britannia Industries, Marico and ITC.
As many as 282 stocks hit 52-week lows on NSE, whereas only 16 stocks could manage to touch their 52-week high level.
