Sensex Today: Indian equity benchmarks — the BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty 50 — closed in the red on Tuesday, weighed down by selling pressure in consumer durables and realty stocks as investors remained cautious ahead of the US-India trade talks.

On the NSE, ONGC, Eternal and ICICI Bank led the gainers’ pack, whereas Trent, L&T and Dr Reddy’s Laboratories were the top losers.
