CLOSING BELL

Benchmark indices extended their record breaking rally into fifth straight session on Wednesday as macrreconomic tailwinds put stocks in top gear. India's retail inflation eased again in September, falling to a five-month low of 4.35 per cent, while the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) rose to 11.9 per cent YoY in August.

Overall, the 30-pack BSE Sensex ended the session at 60,737 levels, up 453
