Key Indian equity markets on Thursday closed on a flat-to-positive note as investors traded with caution on the back of weak global cues and selling pressure in index heavyweights like Dr Reddy's Lab, Bajaj Auto, Adani Ports and NTPC. According to market observers, gains were supported by healthy buying in IT (information technology), capital goods and consumer durables stocks.
