  Sensex, Nifty hold gains @ 12:41 hrs SIFY   
 

Thanks to sustained buying in several blue chip stocks, the market remains well placed in the positive territory in early afternoon trade today. Strong Asian markets and heavy buying in Reliance Industries on the back of reports that the company has made its bid to acquire LyondellBasell have contributed to the upswing today.

At 17,165, a few points off the day's high of 17,181.87, the Sensex is now up 143.16 points or 0.84% over its previous closing mark. The Nifty has posted a gain of 47 points or 0.93% at 5099.45.
