Driven by strong Index of Industrial Production (IIP) numbers and an unchanged inflation, the Sensex today (13 October) rallied over 211 points to 32,393, reflecting interrupted buying by domestic institutional investors.
The rupee appreciating 19 paise to 64.89 against the dollar today gave a leg to the rally. The rest of Asia logged a mixed trend.
The 30-share barometer pushed higher by 211.04 points, or 0.66 per cent, to 32,393.26. The gauge had leapt 348 points in the previous session.
Sectoral indices turned green across the board, with metal, realty and FMCG posting sizeable gains of up to 1.90 per cent. The NSE index Nifty was trading up by 43.25 points, or 0.42 per cent, at 10,139.65.
Buying activity picked up momentum on positive economic data after industrial production grew to a 9-month high of 4.3 per cent in August while retail inflation came in at 3.28 per cent in September, unchanged from August.
Stocks of Bharti Airtel zoomed 6.94 per cent to Rs 427.80 after the company announced that the consumer mobile business of Tata Teleservices and Tata Teleservices Maharashtra will merge with it in a cash-free, debt-free deal. (PTI)
