BSE: Top gainers and losers

The stars on Wednesday aligned for the benchmark BSE Sensex which propped up by positive feelers from global markets and a slew of reforms back home.

The index went full throttle ahead surging 402 points to settle at a one-week high of 25,719.

The NSE Nifty too gave a better account of itself, reclaiming the crucial 7,800-mark.

On Wednesday, the Cabinet approved norms for trading in spectrum among mobile operators and cleared the launch of a gold sovereign bond and a scheme designed to mobilise gold stored in households and temples as part of its efforts to curb demand for the metal.
