Markets end at record high; Nifty nears 11k-mark after heavyweights rally

Stocks ended at record highs for the fourth session with the benchmark Nifty nearing the 11,000-mark amid huge inflows from overseas investors and sharp gains in index heavyweights such as Reliance Industries (RIL), Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC).
 

The BSE Sensex surged 286.43 points, or 0.81 per cent, to close at 35,798.01, while the broader National Stock Exchange (NSE) Nifty ended at 10,966.20 — all-time closing high for both the indices.
 

Overseas investors bought shares worth Rs 15.7 billion as domestic investors pulled out Rs 4.6 billion, according to provisional data by the bourses.
