New Delhi/ Mumbai, March 25 (ANI): Indian stock market jumped nearly 1.5 percent to record highs surpassing their previous all-time highs hit just last week as lenders extended a recent rally boosted by strong foreign investor flows. The Nifty ended 1.36 percent higher after marking a lifetime high of 6,591.50, while the benchmark Sensex finished 1.38 percent up after touching a record high of 22,074.34, surpassing their previous milestones hit on March 18. The prospect that the upcoming elections will usher in a new government led by the BJP is also aiding the gains, given market perceptions that the party has a more business-friendly stance.
