BENGALURU - Indian shares rose to an all-time high on Monday in broad-based gains as strong December-quarter corporate earnings raised hopes of a quick economic recovery.

Thirteen of 14 sectoral indexes were higher, with banks leading the gains. HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank were among the biggest boosts to the Nifty 50.
