In the broader market, the BSE MidCap and SmallCap indices also held gains, up 0.1 per cent and 0.3 per cent, respectively.
Overnight, Dow Jones shed 1.5 per cent. Nasdaq and the S&P 500 too declined up to 0.7 per cent after strong activity data in the US raised fears of a delay in rate cut, with the possibility of one quarter percentage rate cut in December as against November earlier.
Near home in Asia, Nikkei, Hang Seng and Kospi were down over 1 per cent each. Shanghai and Taiwan traded on a flat note.
