Nifty ends higher; blue chips lead

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Nifty edged higher, snapping three days of falls as blue chips such as ITC Ltd recovered, but broader advances were capped by caution ahead of inflation data and mild selling by foreign investors.

The Sensex provisionally closed 0.26 percent higher while the Nifty added 0.24 percent.

Shares in ITC closed 1.1 percent higher.
