BENGALURU, June 4 (Reuters) - Indian shares closed lower on Tuesday as investors awaited the central bank’s policy meeting decision later this week, weighed down by technology stocks.
The broader NSE index fell 0.55% to 12,021.65, while the benchmark BSE index settled 0.46% lower at 40,083.54.
Tata Consultancy Services fell 2.6%, dragging the Nifty IT index 1.6% lower.
