Mumbai, Nov 11
The domestic equity indices closed at a higher note for the second consecutive day on Tuesday amid buying in IT, auto, metal and FMCG sectors. The rally was further sustained by positive global cues as the US Senate passed a bill to end the longest-ever federal shutdown.
BEL, Adani Ports, Mahindra and Mahindra, HCL Tech, Eternal, Bharti Airtel, Infosys, Sun Pharma, Hindustan Unilever, L&T, Tech Mahindra, and TCS were the top gainers from the Sensex basket. Bajaj Finance, Bajaj FinServ, and Tata Motors PV ended the session in negative territory.
Broader indices experienced a mixed approach amid buying in midcap and selling in smallcap stocks. Nifty Midcap 100 rose 302 points or 0.50 per cent, Nifty Small Cap 100 fell 37 points or 0.21 per cent, and Nifty 100 closed 109 points or 0.42 per cent.
