MUMBAI (Reuters) - Indian shares rose for a second consecutive session on Tuesday, their first back-to-back gains so far this month on upbeat Asian and European markets and as investors bought defensive stocks even though sentiment remained broadly cautious back home.

The Nifty ended 0.4 percent higher, while the Sensex gained 0.41 percent.
