MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex edged up on Wednesday to approach a record closing high hit last month, extending a recent rally as continued foreign-investor buying boosted blue chips such as ICICI Bank Ltd .
ICICI Bank shares provisionally rose 2.8 percent, while Bank of Baroda Ltd gained 6.4 percent.
The BSE Sensex rose 0.26 percent to a provisional close of 21,265.49, near a record closing high of 21,373.66 hit on January 23.
Nifty ended up 0.45 percent.
