Benchmark indices ended flat as oil prices fell overnight after they hit a more than two-year high earlier in the week.

Back home, GST (goods and services tax) Council is likely to slash the indirect tax rates on as many as 165 items at its meeting in Guwahati, which begins later today. At present, these 165 items attract 28% tax, which could be moved to the 18% category.

Market rundown by Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services

However, renewed buying in consumer durables restricted further fall in the market on expectation of reducing taxes for product coming under 28% GST tax bracket. Albeit, investors are watchful ahead of key domestic macros CPI inflation & IIP data and global oil price fluctuation to get the direction."
