The broader NSE Nifty rose 21.70 points or 0.09 per cent to close at its all-time high of 24,323.85.
The 30-share BSE Sensex fell 53.07 points or 0.07 per cent to settle at 79,996.60.
Among the pack of 30 Sensex stocks, State Bank of India, Reliance Industries, Hindustan Unilever, NTPC, Larsen & Toubro, Nestle India, Power Grid, ITC, JSW Steel and Sun Pharmaceuticals were the top gainers.
