Among Sensex stocks, UltraTech Cement, M&M, L&T, HDFC, Sun Pharma and HDFC Bank were the top gainers in today's trading session, rising around 2.5-4 per cent. Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finance, Asian Paints, Infosys, Bharti Airtel and Tech Mahindra also settled higher.
Sectorally, the Nifty Consumer Durables rose 1.48 per cent and Nifty Auto surged 1.45 per cent. Nifty IT and Nifty Financial Services also closed higher. In the broader market, Nifty Midcap50 advanced 1.27 per cent and Smallcap50 rose 0.33 per cent.
