Post Session Market

The Indian Market closed on a mixed note as BSE Sensex closed with marginal gains while NSE Nifty closed in negative. Tracking the favoring cues from the global markets, the domestic market opened on a firm note but was unable to sustain at higher levels and gave up most of its gains. The market remained firm for the first half but lost the grip in the second half due to the expiry of the April 2008 derivatives contract.
