Domestic markets ended the session flat on Thursday due to emergence of fresh selling pressure in select stocks amid weak European cues.
The 30-share BSE index Sensex was up 34.31 points (0.17 per cent) at 20,247.27 and the 50-share NSE index Nifty was up 22.6 points (0.37 per cent) at 6,169.35.
On the BSE, realty and oil & gas indices gained the most with realty index up 1.85 per cent, followed by oil & gas 1.61 per cent, healthcare 1.61 per cent and banking 1.04 per cent.
On the other hand, FMCG and IT indices fell the most with FMCG index down 0.97 per cent, followed by IT 0.83 per cent, auto 0.82 per cent and TECk 0.75 per cent.
Among 30-share Sensex, Hindalco, Cipla, RIL, Dr Reddy's and Sterlite were the top five gainers, while the top five losers were ITC, Tata Motors, Jindal Steel, Infosys and TCS.
A mixed trend prevailed the Asian markets as investors were worried over a prolonged recession in the euro zone, although solid growth data from Japan improved the market sentiment.
European stocks fell after the Stoxx Europe 600 Index had yesterday extended its highest level since June 2008.
