Sensex up in early trading; Tata Motors, JSW Steel among top gainers

Date:

Equity benchmark indices traded higher during early hours on Wednesday as investors hoped for elevated spending on infrastructure in the upcoming Union Budget to boost consumer demand and investments.

At 10:15 am, the BSE S & P Sensex was up by 308 points to 41,275 while the Nifty 50 edged higher by 91 points at 12,147. All sectoral indices at the National Stock Exchange were in the positive terrain with Nifty metal gaining by 1.4%, auto by 1% and FMCG by 0.8%.

Among stocks, Tata Motors advanced by 4.3% to Rs 183.65 per share. Tata Steel and JSW Steel were up by 2.2% each while Vedanta was up by 1.4%.

Index heavyweight Reliance Industries ticked up by 1.4% to Rs 1,492.70 per share. The other prominent gainers were Adani Ports, Britannia, Bajaj Finance, Bharti Infratel, Grasim and Larsen & Toubro.

However, those which lost were Dr Reddy’s, Tata Consultancy Services, Eicher Motors and Yes Bank.

Meanwhile, Asian shares erased earlier gains and slipped into negative territory as a spike in new Chinese virus cases sent Hong Kong stocks tumbling and fueled fears about the economic impact of the outbreak.

But Japan’s Nikkei stock index advanced by 0.4% and South Korea’s Kospi also added 0.5%. Markets in China were closed for a holiday.
