Sensex, Nifty Climb on Foreign Fund Inflows

Mumbai: Equity benchmarks climbed in early trade on Tuesday amid continuous foreign fund inflows and record GST collection in April.

Also, a largely firm trend in Asian gauges and buying in index major Reliance Industries and IT counters added to the optimism.

The 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 276.61 points to 61,389.05 in early trade. The broader NSE Nifty went up 89.65 points to 18,154.65.
