Sensex, Nifty end unchanged; tech, pharma stocks gain

Benchmark stock market indices ended flat even as technology and pharma stocks posted gains amid some cautious trading.

Indian shares closed flat on Thursday, after moving in a narrow range through the day, with technology and pharma stocks posting gains amid some cautious trading due to the country reporting its highest jump in daily COVID-19 cases in a month.

The NSE Nifty 50 index and the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex ended almost flat at 17,203.95 and 57,794.32, respectively.
