REUTERS - Indian shares closed little changed on Wednesday after hitting their highest level in more than three months earlier in the session, as Tata Consultancy Services fell on weaker-than-expected margins, while Asian equities slipped following a drop in oil prices.

The Nifty <.NSEI> ended flat at 7,914.75, after earlier rising as much as 0.5 percent to its highest level since Jan. 1. The Sensex <.BSESN> gained 0.11 percent to close at 25,844.18.

Tata Consultancy Services declined 2.8 percent after the software services exporter's fourth-quarter margins came in below expectations.
