The first trading session of Samvat 2069 ended on a weak note as the BSE benchmark Sensex erased early gains to close nearly 52 points lower at 18,618.87 in the special 75-minute 'Muhurat' trading on Tuesday after investors preferred to book profits to starting new accounts.

Of the 30-share Sensex, 13 stocks including Bharti Airtel, RIL and ONGC gained while 17 including Tata Motors, HDFC, Infosys and SBI closed with losses.
