Sensex nearly flat in choppy trade ahead of RBI policy

Reuters Market Eye - The BSE Sensex falls 0.08 percent while the broader Nifty is down 0.01 percent in choppy trade. Volumes are low as traders await the outcome of the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy meeting later in the day.

Traders say markets could see short-term buying if the Reserve Bank of India gives more direction on how long its liquidity curbing measures are likely to continue.
