Among the laggards were Kotak Mahindra Bank, HCL Technologies, ICICI Bank, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, and Larsen & Toubro.

In Asian markets, Shanghai fell, while Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong closed higher.

Wall Street closed largely down on Monday.

Brent crude gained 1.61 percent to USD 88.83 a barrel.

According to exchange data, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold securities worth Rs 522.30 crore on Monday.

In its third straight day of advances, Sensex surged 363.20 points or 0.49 percent to 74,014.55, while Nifty advanced 135.10 points or 0.61 percent to 22,462.
