After a lackluster opening, major European indices bounced back later in the day and helped the local equity markets to ascend newer highs during the last hours of trade.

Back home, Capital Goods and Oil & Gas segments witnessed maximum traction led by L&T and RIL respectively. Moreover, barring Consumer Durables, all other segments settled in the green.
