The benchmark S&P/BSE Sensex ended the session up 118.57 points, or 0.19 percent, at 62,547.11, while the broader NSE Nifty index settled 46.35 points, or 0.25 percent, higher at 18,534.10.

Mid-cap and small-cap stocks continued to see heavy buying, with the respective indexes on BSE closing up around 0.6 percent each.

Hero Moto Corp rallied 3.1 percent and Maruti Suzuki India added 1.8 percent after posting strong monthly sales for May.

Metal stocks such as Tata Steel and Hindalco gained 2-3 percent as commodity prices surged in international markets on the back of a weaker dollar.

Apollo Hospitals Enterprise rose 3 percent to extend recent gains after reporting strong quarterly results.
