MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex (^BSESN : 14272.63 +2099.21) extended gains to 17.24 percent on Monday, halting trade for the rest of the day after the surge triggered the final circuit breaker for the market.
The 30-share BSE index rose 2,099.21 points to 14,272.63 points when trading resumed following a two-hour initial halt, after the ruling Congress-led alliance swept national elections and boosted investor confidence.
The 50-share NSE (^NSEI : 4323.15 +651.5) index rose 17.3 percent to 4,308.05 points.
