The Indian market is trading subdued on Wednesday, tracking mixed Asian cues after China raised interest rates by 25 basis points late on Tuesday to rein in soaring inflation. Investors are also watching certain new developments related to the 2-G spectrum allocation scam for direction.

After falling to a low of 17,594 early in the session, the 30-share BSE Sensex has recouped all its early loss and is now posting a modest 0.10 percent gain. The 50-share Nifty is also trading off the day's low with little change. Meanwhile, second-line stocks are seeing notable weakness.

Telecom stocks are declining after the Central Bureau of Investigation said it arrested D B Realty's promoter Shahid Usman Balwa in connection with the 2G spectrum allocation scam. Bharti Airtel is declining 1.88 percent, while Reliance Communication, Idea Cellular and Tata Teleservices are losing around 4 percent each.
