Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended flat on Tuesday (July 28, 2026) as investors' sentiment turned cautious ahead of key global central bank policy meetings this week and heavy sell-off across Asian markets.
The 30-share BSE Sensex dipped 69.86 points, or 0.09%, to settle at 76,765.92. During the day, it hit a high of 76,988.48 and a low of 76,672.77, gyrating 315.71 points. The 50-share NSE Nifty slipped 10.60 points, or 0.04%, to end at 23,985.35.
From the Sensex pack, Hindustan Unilever tanked 6.97% after the FMCG major reported a 3.17% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to ₹2,680 crore for the June quarter, mainly on account of exceptional items and higher taxes.
