Sensex ends lower amid FII comeback, Bajaj Auto earnings and rupee cues
Indian equity benchmarks ended lower on Tuesday as investors digested a mixed set of market cues. While the Sensex and Nifty closed in the red, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) returned as net buyers after a recent selling streak.

Bank of India intervenes only to curb excessive volatility and ensure orderly market conditions. On the corporate front, Bajaj Auto reported a strong set of first-quarter earnings, with net profit rising 42% on the back of record exports, supported by improved realisations and record volumes.
