Indian shares ended a choppy session modestly higher on Thursday, helped by fag-end buying in banking and IT stocks.
The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex ended the session up 170.42 points, or 0.42 percent, at 40,286.48 while the broader NSE Nifty index rose by 30 points, or 0.25 percent, to 11,870.45.
Maruti Suzuki, HDFC Bank, Bajaj Finance, Infosys and ICICI Bank rose 1-3 percent in the Nifty pack.
Investors shrugged off data showing that India's wholesale inflation rose 0.16 percent year-on-year in October, after a 0.33 percent increase in September. Economists had expected a 0.24 percent fall.
