Market benchmark BSE Sensex today reclaimed the 25,000-level by surging over 131 points in early trade, extending weekend's gains on fresh foreign capital inflows amid a mixed trend at other Asian bourses.

The 30-share index rallied by 131.63 points, or 0.52 per cent, to 25,002.32, with capital goods, healthcare, IT, consumer durables, realty and auto sector stocks leading the rise.

The gauge had gained 401.12 points in the previous session.

The broader NSE Nifty also moved up 28.80 points, or 0.38 per cent, to 7,592.35.

Brokers said revival of buying by foreign investors and widening of positions by investors, mainly influenced the trading sentiment.

Besides, mixed third quarterly earnings and a mixed trend at other Asian bourses supported the rise in the domestic markets.
