Sensex edges down; DLF slumps nearly 30 pct

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex and Nifty edged down on Tuesday as DLF Ltd plunged after the market regulator banned it from tapping capital markets, although broader losses were capped as Reliance Industries Ltd gained after better-than-expected earnings and lenders rose on easing inflation data.

The Sensex closed 0.13 percent lower, while the Nifty fell 0.3 percent.

Shares in DLF Ltd closed down 28.6 percent.
