BENGALURU, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Indian shares erased early gains to end nearly flat on Monday, dragged by losses in information technology and state-owned bank stocks, as a flagging economy kept investors cautious ahead of the central bank's monetary policy meeting later this week.
The NSE Nifty 50 index closed 0.07% lower at 12048.20 and the S&P BSE Sensex was little changed at 40802.17.
India's economy grew at its slowest pace since 2013 for the July-September period at 4.5%, which could prompt the Reserve Bank of India to cut its repo rate at its monetary policy meeting.
The Nifty IT index dropped most among sub-indexes at to nearly 1%, while the state-owned bank index fell 0.87% at close.
A fall in auto sales in November also pushed auto stocks lower, sending the Nifty auto index down 0.9%.
Bharti Airtel was the top gainer among stocks on the Nifty, closing up 3.65%, and Yes Bank was the biggest loser, dropping 6.22%. (Reporting by Derek Francis in Bengaluru; Editing by Rashmi Aich)
