MUMBAI (Reuters) - Indians stock markets edged higher on Friday in a volatile session as energy companies such as Reliance Industries rallied after the country simplified oil and gas licensing rules, while property developers gained after parliament passed a real estate bill.

The broader Nifty rose 0.32 percent to end at 7,510.20 after spending the day swinging between gains and losses as investors also booked profits in recent outperformers.
