Domestic markets traded strong on Tuesday as Sensex rose 445.91 points to end at 28,978.02 while Nifty surged 133.35 points to close at 8,943 points.

Banking sector shares climbed up 2.7% while auto climbed 2.92% with Tata Motors recording the most turnover of Rs 145.76 crore.

Top gainers on BSE were Prestige (8.16%), Redington (7.2%), Tata Motors (7.19%), Indian bank (7%) and Trent Ltd (6.65%).
