Market benchmark Sensex Tuesday rallied over 481 points, riding on a host of positive factors like sustained foreign fund inflows, stronger rupee and chances of the incumbent NDA government coming for a second term. Besides, gains in global equity markets also had its impact on domestic bourses.

The 30-share BSE gauge settled 481.56 points, or 1.30 per cent, higher at 37,535.66. The broader NSE Nifty reclaimed the psychological 11,300-level and closed with gains of 133.15 points, or 1.19 per cent, at 11,301.20.

In the Sensex pack, Bharti Airtel was the top performer, surging 4.61 per cent. Other gainers included ICICI Bank, IndusInd Bank, L&T, Sun Pharma, RIL, HDFC duo, Tata Motors and M&M -- climbing up to 3.69 per cent. Bucking the overall trend, Bajaj Finance, ONGC, NTPC, Coal India, Yes Bank, Bajaj Auto, SBI and Hero MotoCorp fell as much as 1.13 per cent. -- PTI
