Early on Wednesday, the rupee strengthened 10 paise to 81.96 against the US dollar, following the American currency’s decline in foreign exchange markets.

IndusInd Bank, Power Grid, Tata Motors, Reliance Industries, UltraTech Cement, Nestle, and ITC were the top gainers on the Sensex.

The major laggards were the State Bank of India, Tata Steel, Axis Bank, and HDFC.
