Equity benchmark Sensex climbed over 230 points to reclaim the 61,000-mark on November 7, propelled by robust buying in auto, energy and metal stocks amid a firm trend in global equities.
A strong rupee against the U.S. dollar and persistent foreign capital inflows also supported the domestic equities, traders said.
