MUMBAI: Smart gains in HDFC, TCS, Infosys and HUL propelled the sensex and the Nifty to new life highs on Tuesday as several states announced relaxation of Covid-induced lockdowns, raising hopes that the domestic economy could recover from the impact of the second wave quickly than was expected earlier. As a result, the sensex rallied 873 points or 1.7% to close at 53,823, while the Nifty closed at 16,131 points, up 256 points or 1.6%.
The strong buying in the market also pushed investors’ wealth to a new peak with BSE’s market capitalization now at Rs 242 lakh crore, or about $3.3 trillion.
