Updates to close
By Bharath Rajeswaran
Oct 8 (Reuters) - Indian shares ended higher on Tuesday, as investors bought the dip following a six-session losing run, while better-than-expected results for the ruling party in a state assembly election also supported sentiment.
Investors now awaitthe Reserve Bank on India's policydecision on Wednesday, where the central bankis widely expected to hold rates while some expect a change in stance to neutral.
The Nifty 50 index .NSEI ended0.88% higher at 25,013.15, while the S&P BSE Sensex .BSESN added 0.72% to 81,634.81. Both theindexes fell about 0.1% earlierin the session.
The benchmarks fell in thelast six sessions as the escalating MiddleEast conflict sapped risk appetite and foreign institutional investors sold shares worth $6 billion.
Investors used the dip as a buying opportunity on the day, said Gaurav Dua, head of capital market strategy at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas.
Dua said the lack of specific details from China on its stimulus measures could have also directed foreign inflows to India.
Foreign and domestic flow data for the session will be released post-market hours.
Meanwhile, election results showed that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is headed for a surprise victory in polls in the state of Haryana, while the opposition coalition looked set to form government in Jammu and Kashmir.
"The state election results have eased fears that the ruling government in the centre may get weakened by a likely defeat in the two states, aiding the rally" said Sunny Agrawal, head of fundamental equity research at SBICaps Securities.
Twelve of the 13 major sectors advanced on Tuesday.
High weightage financials .NIFTYFIN rose 1%.
The two heaviest stocks in the Nifty 50, HDFC Bank HDBK.NS and Reliance Industries RELI.NS rose about 2% each.
The more domestically-focussed small- .NIFSMCP100 and mid-caps .NIFMDCP100 also gainedabout 2% each.
Automaker Mahindra & Mahindra MAHM.NS gained 3.5% after CLSA upgraded the stock to "outperform" rating from"hold".
