Shares of insurance firm, Religare were among the top gainers. While PC jewellers' stocks loose their sheen to be among the top losers.

Stock of India's second-largest IT firm Infosys went up by 1.23 percent to Rs 935 after the company said it has fixed November 1, 2017, as the record date for its up to Rs 13,000- crore share buyback programme.

Meanwhile, the rupee appreciated by 11 paise to 65.25 against the dollar on Tuesday as rising risk appetite pushed back the US currency amid a higher opening in domestic equities.

The risk-on approach pushed exporters and banks increasingly away from the dollar.
