The Indian stock market closed in the green on Thursday, but the newly-launched closing auction session (CAS) continued to create divergence in benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty.
Sensex jumped nearly 374 points to end at 78,955 on its expiry day, while Nifty 50 ended almost flat, gaining only 11 points to close at 24,636 on Thursday. Nifty Midcap 100 slipped into the red, falling more than 0.4%, while Nifty Smallcap 100 index closed around 0.5% higher.
