The 30-scrip sensitive index (Sensex) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), which opened at 17,526.92 points, was ruling at 17,665.14 points, up 114.51 points or 0.65 percent from its previous close at 17,550.63 points.

Among gainers on the Sensex were ITC, RIL, RCom, and Wipro, while losers included Cipla, Maruti Suzuki, BHEL and Bajaj Auto.
