Equity benchmark indices rebounded in early trade on Wednesday, mainly due to intense buying in IT, metal and energy stocks amid a largely negative trend in global markets.
After falling in the previous three trading sessions, the 30-share BSE benchmark climbed 179.53 points to 57,326.85 after a positive start. The broader NSE Nifty gained 52.75 points to 17,036.30.
In the 30-share Sensex pack, HCL Technologies, Power Grid, NTPC, Mahindra & Mahindra, NTPC, Axis Bank, Wipro, Sun Pharma, Tech Mahindra, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys and Kotak Mahindra Bank were among the biggest gainers. On the other hand, Asian Paints and Bharti Airtel were trading lower.
