| Indian indices It was a highly volatile trade, with the markets witnessing huge swings during the day. Investors reacted to the developments in Libya.

But again there were reports from agencies that fresh air strike has hit Brega oil terminal in East Libya, which dragged markets lower. So there was no confirmation on any news from Libya side. However, another bounce back in the last hour of trade led the markets to close with modest gains. Capital goods, auto and realty stocks led the upmove while metals and oil & gas led the losers pack. Easing of food inflation also provided support. In the Midcap space, Bajaj Finserv was locked at 20% upper circuit as Bershire Hathway tied up with Bajaj Allianz for general insurance.
