The Indian stock market extended gains on Thursday after the US Federal Reserve left its key interest rates unchanged, although a growing number of policymakers indicated a rate hike later this year.
Sensex rose around 274 points to close at 77,928 while Nifty gained around 67 points to end the session at 24,317. Broader markets, however, ended the session in the deep red, with Nifty Smallcap 100 and Nifty Midcap 100 indices falling up to 0.6%.
