Closing Bell: Sensex, Nifty Gain For Second Day

Indian equity benchmarks rose for second straight day led by HDFC twins, Reliance Industries and Maruti Suziki.

The S&P BSE Sensex rose 0.75 percent or 267 points to 35,645 and the NSE Nifty 50 index climbed 0.65 percent or 70 points to 10,770.

For most part of the day, the benchmarks moved in a narrow range but late buying in HDFC Bank helped in breaking out of rangebound trading on the upside.

Eleven out of 19 sector gauges compiled by BSE ended higher led by the S&P BSE Auto index's 1.3 percent gain. On the flipside, the S&P BSE Information Technology index was top loser, down 0.6 percent.

The mid- and small-cap shares ended on a mixed note as the S&P BSE MidCap index fell 0.17 percent while S&P BSE SmallCap index rose 0.4 percent.
