Reuters Market Eye - The BSE Sensex and the Nifty are trading up around 0.3 percent each, heading towards their first gain this year after five straight days of falls.
Export-driven IT and pharmaceutical shares gain on expectations a weaker rupee and healthier overseas markets will boost earnings.
Tata Consultancy Services gains 1.24 percent, while Infosys is down 0.8 percent on caution ahead of its Oct-Dec earnings on Friday.
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries gains 1.5 percent, while Cadila Healthcare is up 4.8 percent.
