BENGALURU - Indian shares opened flat on Tuesday, hovering near record highs scaled last week, as gains in auto and energy stocks countered losses in tech and real estate scrips.

Energy shares rose 0.7%, with Oil and Natural Gas Corp among the biggest gainers on the Nifty 50.
Tech stocks dropped more than 1%, with HCL Technologies shedding over 2% to be the biggest loser on the Nifty 50.
Broader Asian markets were trading lower as risks of a default by property giant China Evergrande took centre stage again. [MKTS/GLOB]
