Mumbai, October 25: The BSE benchmark Sensex bounced back 137 points today, on healthy quarterly results posted by blue-chip companies and a clutch of positive economic data, coupled with firm global cues.
The 30-share barometer of the Bombay Stock Exchange ended the session at 20,303.12, higher by 137.26 points, or 0.68 per cent, with HDFC, RIL, TCS and Hindalco contributing the most.
During the session, Sensex climbed 286 points to touch a high of 20,452, but profit booking at the higher levels erased some of the early gains. On Friday, the index lost 95 points.
The National Stock Exchange’s wide-based 50-share Nifty Index too rose by 0.66 per cent to settle at 6,105.80.
