Indian equity market moved in a range on Wednesday as gains in telecom stocks over spectrum auctions were offset by a sharp fall in Hindalco Industries over an investigation into the allocation of coal blocks. Frontline index Nifty and Sensex ended at 8,699.95 down by 12 points and 28,659.17 plunged 50 points respectively.

Telecom stocks such as Bharti Airtel gained after operators were seen as having successfully secured most of their spectrum needs at the ongoing auction of mobile airwaves.

However, Hindalco Industries fell to its lowest since May 5, 2014 after a court summoned billionaire Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairman of Aditya Birla Group to which Hindalco belongs and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The summons were related to the allocation of coal blocks to Hindalco during the previous Congress government, which were later overturned by the supreme court. Hindalco declined to comment.
