Domestic equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty ended flat after choppy trade on Friday, tracking weak cues from global markets.
Participants also remained on the sidelines ahead of key macroeconomic data releases amid lack of fresh buying triggers, traders said.
The 30-share BSE Sensex gyrated 543.96 points before closing 12.78 points or 0.02 per cent higher at its new closing record of 51,544.30.
The broader NSE Nifty, however, slipped 10 points or 0.07 per cent to 15,163.30.
