BENGALURU (Reuters) - Indian shares rose nearly 1.5% on Tuesday, tracking gains in broader Asia on hopes of progress in U.S.-China trade talks, with Tata Motors and metals stocks leading the rally.

The broader Nifty jumped 1.37% to 11,786.85, while the benchmark BSE Sensex closed 1.48% higher at 39,831.84.

Tata Motors Ltd surged nearly 19% after the company posted a narrower loss on Friday. Earlier on Tuesday, the automaker sought shareholders' nod to issue shares worth 30.24 billion rupees ($426.76 million) to Tata Sons.
