The BSE-30 share index sensex opened higher at 19,865.99 and firmed up further to 19,900.68 on initial buying.
However, it declined afterwards to 19,775.29 in view of weak Asian cues before quoting 19,819.99 points at 1025 hours.
It still showed a gain of 15.96 points or 0.08% from its last close.

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) bought shares worth a net Rs 318.05 crore yesterday, as per provisional data from the stock exchanges.
Most Asian stocks fell in their early trade amid prospects that the Federal Reserve will announce today whether it intends to pare back economic stimulus.
