Mumbai: The BSE Sensex rallied about 185 points to 35,877.41 in the early session on Thursday, buoyed by robust industrial output data amid mixed Asian cues.

Industrial output expanded by 4.9% in April this year, spurred by higher growth in manufacturing and mining sectors, as per official data released after market hours on June 15.
