Mumbai, Mar 10 (PTI) The Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark
Sensex recovered by nearly 44 points in the opening trade

firming Asian markets.

higher by 10.55 points, or 0.20 per cent to 5,112.05 points.
Stock brokers said apart from fresh capital inflows by
foreign funds, selective buying by retail investors in mid-cap
stocks also supported the recovery in share prices.
They said gains were restricted after shares of realty,
PSUs and technology sectors remained under pressure on
profit-taking.
Among gainers Reliance Industries was up 0.19 per cent at
Rs 992.10,Hero Honda by 0.93 per cent to Rs 1,892.10, Tata
