The benchmark Sensex on Wednesday rose over 67 points to end near its record close on positive global cues and as investors started taking positions with just about a month left for the Lok Sabha elections.
Indian stocks largely shrugged off weak European opening as realty, capital goods and banking stocks helped the bluechip index close in the positive terrain after it witnessed intra-day volatility, said traders.
After logging 263.08-point rise Tuesday, the Sensex jumped to 21,333.20 in early trades on Wednesday but profit-booking set in. Sustained buying, including from overseas investors, helped 30-share index end 67.13 points up at 21,276.86.
