The Sensex rose 151.84 points to 27019.39, It touched all-time high of 27,082.85 and a low of 26,886.22 in trade.
Nifty climbed 55.35 points to 8083.05 after hitting intraday high of 27082.85 and 8101.95, respectively. The broader markets beat benchmarks with the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices gaining nearly a percent.
The 30-share BSE Sensex closed above the 27000-mark for the first time while the 50-share NSE Nifty hit 8100 level intraday though it failed to hold the same level. The achievement of historical high was completely led by heavyweights like HDFC twins, ITC, Reliance Industries and Bharti Airtel, though selling in ICICI Bank and Tata Motors capped the somewhat upside.
Huge buying interest was seen in cement stocks on the back of higher growth in cement sector (at 16.5 percent in July versus 13.6 percent in June) among eight infrastructure sectors. Grasim Industries, ACC and Ambuja Cements rallied 3-4 percent.
Telecom stocks too were on buyers’ radar on reports that the Narendra Modi government has been planning a new super regulator for the communications sector. New regulator will be called as Communications Commission, which may replace Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), said sources. Bharti Airtel was up 4.24 percent and Idea Cellular gained 3.4 percent
The current-account deficit - which mainly indicates that imports are in excess of exports - was 1.7% of gross domestic product at $7.8 billion in the fiscal first quarter.
It was 4.8% of GDP a year earlier, but just 0.2% in the January-March quarter. Strong dollar inflows ensured that India's balance of payment was in surplus in the April-June period.
