Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty advanced Friday, lifted by gains in financial heavyweights on renewed foreign portfolio investor (FPI) inflows over the past three sessions. Optimism ahead of the quarterly earnings season added to the upbeat mood, though Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) capped broader gains after posting weaker-than-expected September-quarter results.
The S&P BSE Sensex climbed 328.72 points, or 0.40%, to close at 82,500.82, while the NSE Nifty 50 added 103.55 points, or 0.41%, to settle at 25,285.35.
