The benchmark indices ended flat in a volatile trading session on Tuesday as investors kept to the sidelines in the absence of clear triggers ahead of the Jackson Hole gathering of central bankers later this week.
Among individual stocks, Infosys extended losses to a third session, falling as much as 1.53% after Vishal Sikka resigned as chief executive officer on Friday. The stock has lost 14.4% since Sikka's resignation by Monday's close.
Overseas, European stocks broke a three-day losing streak on Tuesday, building on gains in other markets boosted by signs of a global economic recovery and rising commodity prices. Gains for heavyweight miners boosted European shares after strong commodities prices steadied Asian markets earlier in the session.

Domestic indices couldn't sustain the momentum from a positive opening and exhibited volatility on the backdrop of BSE putting a noose around the neck of 200 illicit companies by announcing compulsory delisting from Wednesday. On the other hand, FIIs persistent selling also seems to have impeded the general strength of the market. However, oil marketing companies continued to show strength fuelled by upbeat gross refining margins and the recent developments in the re-organization of heavy weights from the sector.
