At 11:34 hours IST, buying in telecom, power, metal, auto and realty stocks was helping the Sensex to stay on the higher side. ICICI Bank, Infosys, Reliance Industries and ITC were the other gainers. However, selling continued in ONGC, Wipro, HDFC Bank, Sterlite Industries, BPCL, TCS, GAIL, Axis Bank, Jaiprakash Associates, Ambuja Cements, Sun Pharma, ACC and HUL, which capped the gains to major extent.

Hindustan Copper, Rashtriya Chemical, NMDC, Jai Corp, Dredging Corporation, ICICI Bank, Reliance Industries, Bharti Airtel and Tata Steel were the most active shares on the bourses.

The 30-share BSE Sensex was trading at 17,528, up 42 points and the Nifty was at 5,236, up 10 points. The broader indices were outperforming the benchmark indices; the BSE Midcap Index was up 0.7% and the Smallcap was up 1%, as about 863 shares advanced while 388 shares declined on the NSE.
