Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net sellers in the capital market as they offloaded shares worth Rs 1,915.08 crore on Tuesday, as per exchange data.

India's sovereign rating upgrade by Moody's Investors Services in the backdrop of persistent improvement in key economic indicators and faster ramp-up in vaccination bodes well and may aid India to remain resilient compared to global equities, said Binod Modi Head-Strategy at Reliance Securities.

US equities witnessed sharp recovery in the overnight session as the buy-on-dips approach of investors especially in technology stocks aided the market.

Elsewhere in Asia, bourses in Hong Kong, Seoul and Tokyo were trading with losses in mid-session deals. Shanghai was closed for the holidays.

Meanwhile, international oil benchmark Brent crude slipped 0.25 per cent to $82.50 per barrel.
