Indian shares rose on Monday, led by gains in recently beaten-down information technology stocks, while a bounce in global equity markets also aided broader investor sentiment.
The NSE Nifty 50 index was up 0.8% at 16,176, as of 0353 GMT, while the S&P BSE Sensex rose 0.76% to 54,171.64. Both the indexes hit their highest since July 11.
Both the indexes fell more than 1% last week in their first weekly loss in four.
The Nifty IT index, which is down more than 30% this year, gained 1.7% in early trade.
