The BSE Sensex rose 0.21 percent to close at 77,083 points, extending its gains for the month, driven by strength in auto and FMCG stocks. The index is up 3.26 percent over the past month, though it remains 7.58 percent below its level from a year ago.
Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra & Mahindra shares gained 2.1 percent and 1.9 percent respectively on the back of strong June sales figures, while banking and FMCG stocks also saw buying interest. IT stocks were the notable laggards in an otherwise positive session.
