However, weakness in metal shares capped the upside gains. Sensex ended 427.79 points higher at 55,320.28 level while Nifty zoomed 121.85 points to end at 16,478.10 level.

The top stocks within the Sensex were Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Reliance Industries, Bharti Airtel, Sun Pharma and Tech Mahindra. The market breadth favored the bulls as the advance-decline ratio stood at 5:4. The broader markets also settled the volatile session in the green, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices zooming 0.5 per cent and 0.2 per cent, respectively.
