Mumbai, Dec 26 (TIWN) Sensex and Nifty traded marginally lower during the early trade session on Thursday as they were dragged by heavyweight large caps like the HDFC Bank, Infosys, Bharti Airtel, TCS and SBI except for Reliance Industries (RIL).

 RIL, the biggest index contributor and India's most valuable company recovered from early losses to trade at Rs 1,549.60 a share, higher by 0.20 per cent.  The stocks of oil to telecom major have witnessed significant pressure since the government asked a court to restrain a $15 billion deal in which Saudi Aramco would acquire a stake in RIL.
