Sensex, Nifty off to muted start as bulls take breather after 13-day-long run

After a 13-day winning streak, Sensex and Nifty were flat on Tuesday morning due to lack of major triggers. Defence stocks such as HAL and GRSE rallied 3-5% following a Rs 26,000 crore deal for Sukhoi-30MKI fighter jet engines approval. Pharma and real estate stocks traded higher, while IT stocks fell.
