Sensex ended the day at 72,748.42, up by 104.99 points or 0.14 per cent while the Nifty was up 32.40 points or 0.15 per cent at 22,055.70.

Powergrid, NTPC, Cipla, UPL, and Divislab were among the NSE's gainers during Wednesday's morning trade, while Hindalco, Tata Steel, ONGC, Infosys, and TCS were among the losers.
