Heavy buying in heavyweights like Bharti Airtel, Reliance Industries, SBI, ITC, BHEL, HDFC, NTPC, L&T, ONGC and Maruti Suzuki too helped the markets.

Acropetal Tech, Coal India, Fineotex Chemical, State Bank of India, VIP Industries, ICICI Bank and Tata Motors were the most active shares on the exchanges.

Strong global cues led the Sensex higher by 90 points at 17929 in the opening trade. After few minutes of trade, the index hit the day?s low of 17879. From that level, the Sensex inched higher and hit the day?s high of 18041 in mid-morning trade. Strong trade continued in the afternoon session owing to buying in all the sectors. The Sensex rose 149 points to close at 17988 and the Nifty settled at 5414, up by 49 points.
