Selling in European stocks and the final outcome of the  GST Bill in Parliament weighed on investors' minds at close of business on Tuesday.

Foreign institutional investors bought more than Rs 11,000 crore worth of equity shares in July against Rs 5,174 crore bought in June, according to media reports.

Key gainers on Tuesday included ITC, Hero Motocorp, Maruti Suzuki,Tech Mahindra and ONGC while ICICI Bank, HDFC, Adani Ports, Bharti Airtel, Wipro, Cipla, Lupin, Tata Motors and BHEL ended among the losers.

The Competition Commission of India imposed penalty of Rs 73 crore on Lupin due to anti-competitive practice in Karnataka.
