MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Nifty provisionally fell, retreating from a record high hit earlier in the day, as investors booked profits in some recent outperformers such as Reliance Industries ahead of key inflation data.

Reliance Industries Ltd provisionally fell 1.3 percent after surging 9.7 percent over the previous three sessions, while HDFC Bank Ltd lost 0.97 percent after jumping 9.8 percent over the same period.

BSE Sensex fell 0.4 percent to end at 21,845.18, although the index did not hit a record high on Tuesday.
