India, June 30 -- Indian shares were subdued in early trade on Tuesday ahead of the next round of U.S.-Iran negotiations set to take place in Doha today.

It is feared that any escalation or disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could reignite concerns over energy supplies, inflation and the outlook for interest rates.

The BSE 30-share Sensex was down 168 points, or 0.2 percent, at 76,560 while the broader NSE Nifty index slid by 49 points, or 0.2 percent, to 23,897.
