(Reuters) - Indian shares ended lower on Tuesday, as software services exporters retreated after Royal Bank of Scotland cancelled a contract with Infosys and as world stocks moved away from one-year peaks amid global concerns.

The benchmark BSE Sensex <.BSESN> fell 0.31 percent to 28,064.61, after declining as much as 0.75 percent earlier in the session.

The broader NSE Nifty <.NSEI> dropped 0.34 percent to 8,642.55, snapping two sessions of gains.

Infosys closed 1 percent lower after falling as much as 3.25 percent to its lowest since Dec. 9, 2015.
