PTI; Sensex on upward march at midsession, gains over 378 pts
Mumbai, Dec 10 (PTI) The Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex today surged over 378 points at midsession on aggressive buying by funds in heavy-weight stocks led by realty, metals and refinery sectors.
The 30-share index, which commenced the day higher, gained further grounds to record a gain of 378.62 points at 9,541.24 at 1315 hrs on the back of a smart rise in Reliance Industries, DLF Ltd, Infosys and Tata Steel.
The wide-based National Stock Exchange Nifty shot up by 120.20 points at 2,904.20 at the same time.
Marketmen said the buying interest picked up following the government measures to boost the economy and a cut in interest rate by the Reserve Bank of India last week.
They said the market-heaviest Reliance Industries and Infosys, recording sharp gains, were the major supporters to the market sentiment. PTI
