Indian equity indices erased the previous session’s losses and ended higher on August 21, with the Nifty closing just below 19,400 led by buying across the sectors.
At close, the Sensex was up 267.43 points or 0.41 percent at 65,216.09, and the Nifty was up 83.40 points or 0.43 percent at 19,393.60.
Amid mixed global cues, the market started on a flat-to-positive note and extended the gains as the day progressed pushing the Nifty above 19,400. However, selling at the higher levels erased some of the intraday gains.
Top gainers on the Nifty were Bajaj Finance, Adani Ports, Power Grid Corp, Adani Enterprises and Hindalco Industries, while losers included Reliance Industries, M&M, Britannia Industries, SBI Life Insurance and BPCL.
All the sectoral indices were trading in the green with information technology, realty, metal, power and capital goods up 1-2 percent.
The BSE midcap and smallcap indices added nearly a percent each.
