Sensex, Nifty end lower as IT shares fall on weak TCS commentary

Indian shares closed lower on Thursday, mainly due to a decline in information technology (IT) stocks following weak earnings from Tata Consultancy Services. The NSE Nifty 50 index settled 0.09% lower, while the S&P BSE Sensex fell 0.10%. The IT index dropped 1.67%, with TCS, Infosys, and HCLTech losing nearly 2% each. Investors are also awaiting the results of Infosys and HCLTech, as well as key inflation data.
