Sensex, Nifty50 rise 1%; NTPC gains 5%, RBL Bank down 2%

Indian equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty50 started Friday's session on a positive note amid a mixed trend across global markets.

Broad-based gains, led by financial, oil & gas, IT, auto and metal shares, pushed the headline indices higher. Broader markets also strengthened, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 indices up nearly two percent each in early deals. Investors awaited more quarterly numbers from India Inc for cues.
