However, broadly negative Asian and European indices capped gains.
According to market observers, healthy buying was witnessed in banking, oil and gas, automobile and consumer durables stocks.
Index-wise, the broader Nifty50 of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) closed at 11,008.05 points — higher by 71.20 points or 0.65 per cent — from its previous close.
The barometer 30-scrip Sensitive Index (Sensex), which opened at 36,390.99 points, closed at 36,519.96 points — higher by 196.19 points or 0.54 per cent — from its previous session’s close of 36,323.77 points.
Sensex touched a high of 36,549.55 points and a low of 36,261.78 during the intra-day trade.
On Monday — the previous trade session — both the indices closed in the red due to a rise in wholesale inflation rate and broadly weak global cues.
