Closing Bell: Sensex ends 224 pts higher, Nifty at 17610.40

At Close, the Sensex was up 224.16 points or 0.38% at 59,932.24, and the Nifty was down 5.90 points or 0.03% at 17,610.40, as investors remained wary of the deep selloff in Adani Group stocks, despite an overall positive Budget 2023 tone.

Sectorally, Nifty FMCG and Nifty IT indices were the best sectoral gainers, gaining up to 2 percent. On the flipside, the Nifty Metal index was the worst sectoral performer as it sank over 4 percent.
