BSE-NSE-closed-for-Mahashivratri

BSE and NSE will be closed on 27th February on account of Mahashivratri. Indices got off to a positive start and gained ground led by the gradual buying momentum seen in the auto, FMCG, capital goods and the pharma stocks.

Finally, BSE Sensex closed at 20,987 up 134 points, while NSE Nifty closed at 6,239 up 39 points over the previous close.

Coming back to domestic action, the upswing was so smooth that only the metals and the realty index on the BSE ended in the negative terrain.
