State Bank of India, Titan Company, and Hindalco were set to report quarterly results later in the day. The Nifty 50 ended at 24,636, up 0.05%, while the Sensex closed at 78,954.76, up 0.48%. The two benchmarks showed a 43-basis point gap that has persisted for four consecutive sessions since the NSE introduced its Closing Auction Session on August 3.",
