Sensex ends flat after record high; domestic oriented stocks gain

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex ended flat on Tuesday, retreating from record highs hit earlier in the session as investors booked profits even as rising confidence in the domestic economy boosted firms such as Larsen & Toubro.

L&T provisionally gained 2.1 percent while HDFC Bank rose 1.6 percent.

The BSE Sensex rose as much as 0.37 percent to an all-time high of 28,282.85 before ending down 0.05 percent.

The Nifty closed 0.06 percent lower after earlier hitting a record high of 8,454.50.
