Adani Ports and Adani Enterprises surged 3-4 percent to top the gainers list.

Automakers Mahindra & Mahindra and Eicher Motors both rallied around 3 percent.

The rupee traded higher at 82.69 as the dollar index weakened in overseas markets on bets that the U.S. Federal Reserve is close to halting its rate hike cycle.
