BSE Sensex edges higher; IT stocks lead

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex rose on Tuesday, led by gains in technology stocks including Tata Consultancy Services which rose tracking weakness in the rupee and as recent underperformance of the sector made short-term valuations attractive.

Tata Consultancy Services Ltd provisionally rose 2.2 percent, Infosys Ltd gained 0.8 percent, while Wipro Ltd surged 4.9 percent.

The Sensex rose 0.34 percent, while the broader Nifty ended 0.18 percent higher after slipping below its 200-day moving average for a brief period earlier in the day.
