(Reuters) - Indian shares ended lower on Tuesday after the broader NSE Nifty (.NSEI) hit a one-year high as investors booked profits ahead of a state ministers' meeting to discuss the Goods and Services Tax bill.

The Nifty ended 0.52 percent down at 8590.65, after two consecutive sessions of gains, after touching a year high of 8644.90.

The BSE Sensex (.BSESN) pared early gains and closed 0.42 percent down at 27,976.52.

India's second-largest drugmaker Dr Reddy's Laboratories Ltd (REDY.NS) was the biggest percentage loser on the Nifty after its June-quarter profit slumped 75 percent.
