REUTERS - Indian shares rose for a fourth straight session to hit record closing highs, as Aurobindo Pharma jumped after saying it would not be too impacted by price erosion in the U.S. market, and sentiment was boosted by the arrival of monsoon rains. The broader Nifty closed 0.2 percent higher at 9,624.55, while the benchmark Sensex rose 0.16 percent at 31,159.40. Aurobindo Pharma ended 13.3 percent higher.
