Indian equities closed with modest gains on Monday, brushing aside a sharp selloff in IT stocks as easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a dip in crude prices lifted broader sentiment. The Nifty 50 ended at 24,102.90, up 89.80 points or 0.37%, while the BSE Sensex settled at 77,094.07, gaining 291.17 points or 0.38%.
