In overseas markets, the euro on Tuesday narrowed losses against the US dollar with investors keeping watch on developments in Greece. Greece's bailout programme is expected to expire on Tuesday.
As well, the debt-burdened country was expected to miss a 1.6-billion-euro (USD 1.7 billion) debt repayment due to the IMF due the same day.
Meanwhile, the benchmark Sensex snapped its 2-day losing streak, recovering 136 points or 0.49 % to close at 27,780.83 on the back of higher Asian cues.
