Sensex Ends 170 Points Higher; ICICI Bank, Infosys Top Movers: Highlights

The S&P BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 indexes ended higher in trade on Thursday led by gains in ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Infosys, HDFC, Bajaj Finance and Tata Consultancy Services. For most part of the day, the benchmarks traded in a rangebound manner owing to weekly expiry of derivative contracts. However, late buying in banking shares helped benchmarks clock gains for today's session. The Sensex rose as much as 322 points from day's lowest level and Nifty 50 index moved closer 11,900.
