Positive global cues emanating from the US lifted India's key stock indices to their record high levels during Thursday's trade session.

In the intra-day, Sensex reached a new high of 59,957.25 points.

On its part, Nifty50 touched a high of 17,843.90 points.


Initially, the Indian equity benchmarks indices made gap-up openings with volumes in the markets being above average.

Sector wise, all indices witnessed buying, led by Realty, PSU, and Metal stocks.
