MUMBAI: Benchmark equity indices ended at their record closing highs today helped by positive cues from other Asian markets and gains in index heavyweights like Reliance Industries and Bharti Airtel.
The Nifty50 index ended 67 points, or 0.4 per cent, higher at 15,173.3, while Sensex climbed 222 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 51,531.5.
The gains, however, were more prominent in the smallcap space as the Nifty Smallcap index surged nearly 2 per cent on increased confidence in the domestic economic recovery.
The breadth of the market was positive as advancing stocks on the National Stock Exchange outnumbered the declining scrips. The gains, however, came on the back of lower participation as cash market volume on the NSE fell 15 per cent.
