Sensex at mid-day
Mumbai: The benchmark BSE index rises 0.41%, while the 50-share NSE index gains 0.4%.
Reliance Industries advances 0.8%, to become one of the leading gainers, supported by hopes for better refining margin in second half of 2012 and after a recent under-performance in the stock.
Continued hopes for more policy reforms from the government, including a potential approval of foreign direct investment in the country’s supermarkets is also seen fanning hopes on reforms.
