Gainers and Losers: Indian equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty eked out gains in volatile trade to extend the winning streak to a third straight day on Tuesday amid weak trends in global markets as investors preferred to remain on the sidelines ahead of the release of the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes.

Fag-end volatility dragged the BSE Sensex lower from its intra-day high level and it finally settled at 61,981.79, a marginal gain of 18.11 points or 0.03 per cent. The NSE Nifty went up by 33.60 points or 0.18 per cent to end at 18,348, driven by gains in Adani group stocks.

Among the Nifty firms, Adani Enterprises, Divi's Laboratories, Bajaj Finserv, Eicher Motors and UPL were the major gainers.
