By 11 am, the Sensex was trading 228 points higher, while the Nifty gained over 100 points, tracking positive cues from Wall Street, the Dow Jones, and Asia-Pacific markets.

The Nifty MidCap and Nifty SmallCap indices were up 0.13 percent and 0.25 percent, respectively.

Among the Nifty50 stocks, Eternal, Tata Steel, and Mahindra & Mahindra emerged as top gainers.
