Indian equity benchmarks ended higher for the second consecutive session on November 11, with the Nifty reclaiming the 25,400 mark, supported by buying across auto, FMCG and financial stocks.
Despite mixed global cues, the domestic indices opened on a positive note and extended gains during the session, with the Nifty touching an intraday high of 25,424.35, its highest level since February 24. However, selling pressure in realty, IT and pharma stocks capped the market's gains.
At close, the Sensex was up 772.75 points or 0.95 percent at 81,879.40, and the Nifty was up 210.40 points or 0.84 percent at 25,255.05.
The total market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies rose Rs 4.38 lakh crore to Rs 510.80 lakh crore from Rs 506.41 lakh crore in the previous session.
The broader markets performed inline with benchmark, with Nifty midcap index rising 0.8 percent and smallcap index adding 1.6 percent.
