The Hindu
IndusInd Bank was the top gainer in the Sensex pack.
The BSE Sensex scaled the 59,000-mark for the first time on Thursday, propelled by gains in Reliance Industries, ITC and ICICI Bank amid unabated foreign fund inflows and positive cues from European markets.
The 30-share index climbed 417.96 points or 0.71 % to close at 59,141.16. It touched an intra-day record of 59,204.29.
Similarly, the broader NSE Nifty surged 110.05 points or 0.63 % to its new closing high of 17,629.50. During the session, it scaled an all-time peak of 17,644.60.

Insurance penetration and density are often misunderstood and do not reveal how many families are insured or whether they would be financially secure if the main earning member were to die. The real issue is not reach but adequacy, as households may have life insurance but not enough cover to replace lost income, leaving them financially vulnerable.
