gains 2 percent after Barclays upgrades the stock to "overweight", citing a potential recovery in earnings and valuations.

Sesa Goa Ltd gains 8.7 percent ahead of its inclusion in the BSE Sensex on Tuesday.

Hexaware Technologies Ltd gains 6.63 percent after Baring Private Equity Asia agreed to buy a controlling stake in the Indian outsourcing service provider for about $420 million.
