An across the board buying -- especially in index heavyweights Reliance Industries and HDFC -- drove the Indian higher, in line with the Asian indices, on Monday.

The S&P BSE Sensex jumped 760 points, or over 2.4 per cent, to 32,060. The Nifty50 index surpassed 9,350 levels after the Reserve Bank of India announced a Special Liquidity Facility worth Rs 50,000 crore for Mutual Funds.

All the Nifty sectoral indices were in the green, led by Nifty Bank index, up 3 per cent.

Among individual stocks, financial stocks including Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, and IndusInd Bank were among the top gainers.
