The domestic equity benchmark indices ended higher for the second straight session on Wednesday amid sustained foreign fund inflows, robust corporate earnings in second quarter and easing in crude oil prices. However, profit booking at higher levels capped the gains, according to analysts.

The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 772.75 points, or 0.95 per cent, to settle at 81,879.40. The 50-share NSE Nifty rose 210.40 points, or 0.84 per cent, to end at 25,255.05.
