Mumbai: The Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex rose for the second day on March 11 gaining 70 points on selective buying in heavyweights like Reliance Industries and Infosys by funds amid easing inflation worries.
The 30-share index closed up by 69.63 points at 17,167.96 points. It touched the day's high of 17,215.07 points. After a weak start, the market rebounded to move in the positive zone after the government data released today showed a moderate fall in food inflation, marketmen said.
Food inflation slips to 17.81 per cent for the week ended February 27 from 17.87 in the previous week. The heaviest on the Sensex, Reliance Industries, gained 0.84 per cent to close at Rs 1,016.55, while the second heaviest Infosys rose by 0.92 per cent to Rs 2,684.35, helping the barometer extend gains for the second day.
