MUMBAI (Reuters) - (Corrects to say Nifty rose for the fourth consecutive session, not Sensex)

The Nifty rose modestly on Monday to notch its fourth consecutive session of gains, led by blue-chips that have under-performed recently, such as Tata Motors and Oil and Natural Gas Corp, although the mood was broadly cautious.

The benchmark BSE Sensex provisionally closed up 0.4 percent at 27,206.74 points, while the broader Nifty gained 0.31 percent to 8,146.30.

Oil and Natural Gas Corp rose 3.7 percent, while Tata Motors ltd was up 3.9 percent.
