Mumbai: The BSE Sensex climbed over 207 points to trade at 26,797.79 and the NSE Nifty recaptured the 8,100-mark in early trade on Wednesday, with increased buying by participants leading to across-the-board gains amid positive Asian cues.
Rising for the second day, the 30-share index advanced by 207.20 points, or 0.78%, to trade at 26,797.79 as all sectoral indices, led by auto, realty and metal, were trading in the positive zone with gains of up to 1.36%.

On similar lines, the NSE Nifty reclaimed the 8,100-level by rising 48.80 points, or 0.61%, to 8,109.50.
Brokers said a firming trend at other Asian markets following a strong closing in US markets buoyed trading sentiment here.
Besides, value-buying in recently battered bluechips too supported the rise, they said.
Among other Asian markets, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was up 3.10% while Japan’s Nikkei gained 2.42% in early trade on Wednesday. Shanghai Composite index up 2.58%.
