Indian benchmark indices closed marginally lower on Tuesday, extending a session of weak momentum amid mixed global cues.

The BSE Sensex fell 70 points, or 0.09%, to settle at 77,330, while the Nifty 50 mirrored the softness.

Pre-market indicators had suggested a firmer open, with the GIFT Nifty trading near 24,253, up over 150 points from the previous close, but selling pressure persisted once domestic trading commenced.

Investor attention is now fixed on a select group of heavyweight names, including Adani Enterprises, Larsen & Toubro, and RVNL.

These shares are in focus as the market navigates the start of India’s first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings season.

The upcoming results from major names in the energy and banking sectors, including Adani Green Energy, Adani Power, and Bharat Petroleum, are expected to set the tone for broader market sentiment in the coming weeks.
