Benchmark indices ended higher after Reliance Industries rallied nearly 4% on the BSE. Earlier in the day, RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani, announced a 1:1 bonus issue at the company's 40th annual general meeting (AGM) in Mumbai. A day earlier, the company reported its highest quarterly consolidated net profit of Rs 9,108 crore in three-months to 30 June on the back of higher petrochemical margins and one-time gain from sale of African asset.
Net profit in the April-June quarter at Rs 9,108 crore (Rs 30.8 per share) was 28% higher than Rs 7,113 crore (Rs 24.1 a share) in the same period of the last financial year, RIL said in a statement.
In other global markets, the euro's surge to an almost two-year high dominated financial markets on Friday, with most major stock exchanges consolidating after a second strong week of gains while those in mainland Europe dipped.
Investors seem largely to have got over a period of jitters spurred by concerns over the pace of US economic growth and signs that several of the world's major central banks were determined to tighten monetary policy soon.
