REUTERS - India's benchmark BSE Sensex breached the 35,000 mark for the first time on Wednesday, as banks rallied after the government decided to cut its additional market borrowing requirement by 60 percent for the current fiscal year.

The BSE Sensex was up 0.89 percent at 35,081.82, while the broader NSE Nifty ended 0.82 percent higher at 10,788.55. Both indexes posted record closing highs.
