With the growing optimism of global lead and domestic factors, including macroeconomic data, Sensex on Monday spurted by 611 points — the biggest single-day gain in two years — while Nifty finished at 10,421.40, up 194.55 points.
The country’s optimism on growing economy was realised as industrial production expanded by 7.5 per cent in January 2018 as compared to 3.5 per cent in the same month last year, propelled by good performance in manufacturing sector, coupled with higher off-take of consumer and capital goods, as per Government data released on Monday.
