The Indian equity benchmarks edged lower on Tuesday as strong gains in banking shares were outpaced by losses in index heavyweights Reliance Industries, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Hindustan Unilever and Tech Mahindra.

The benchmarks moved closer to record highs on the back of strong buying interest in banking and financial services heavyweights.

However, due to profit booking near record highs in Reliance Industries, Infosys, TCS and Hindustan Unilever led to Sensex falling as much as 325 points from day's highest level and Nifty touched an intraday low of 15,801 after hitting 15,914.20 earlier in the session.The Sensex ended 19 points lower at 52,861 and Nifty 50 index declined 16 points to settle at 15,818.Seven of 11 sector gauges compiled by the National Stock Exchange ended lower led by the Nifty Auto index's nearly 2 per cent fall.
