India, Aug. 6 -- Indian shares ended Thursday's session with modest gains, with a weaker dollar and lower yields on the back of softer U.S. labor market data, and hopes for a U.S.-Iran deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz helping underpin sentiment.
While banks and heavyweight Reliance Industries attracted buying, weakness in auto, IT and metal sectors serviced to cap potential upside.
The 30-share BSE Sensex rose 373.76 points, or 0.48 percent, to 78,954.76 while the NSE Nifty index finished 11.35 points higher at 24,636, showing significant divergence with the Sensex for a fourth straight session following the Closing Auction Session rollout.
