MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex edged higher on Friday, but continued to stay away from its record highs hit early in the week, as investors booked profits in some recent outperformers such as ONGC while buying into relative underperformers such as Tata Motors.
The Sensex provisionally rose 0.08 percent to 21,756.87, while the Nifty gained 0.16 percent to 6,493.20.
Oil and Natural Gas Corp fell 2.4 percent, but Tata Motors rose 2.5 percent.
