Sensex, Nifty gain modestly

The Indian equity market managed to garner modest gains today. After opening with a positive bias, markets were unable to hold on to their early gains as the Indian rupee weakened against the US Dollar. The rupee was trading around the 62 per dollar mark as against previous close of 61.69.

The banking, auto and the consumer durable stocks were among the top gainers. Even the mid-cap and the small-cap stocks ended with gains. On the other hand, power, oil and gas, IT and telecom stocks were among the major losers.

Finally, BSE Sensex closed at 21,251 up 46 points, while NSE Nifty closed at 6,314 up 10 points over the previous close.
