HCL Technologies shares vaulted over 9 per cent following the announcement earlier today that it had posted a 28 per cent jump in net profit during the second quarter ended December 31, 2015. At 10.45 am the share was up 9.04 per cent at Rs 1,798 as against its Thursday close at Rs 1,648.95.
NTPC was also broadly firm, gaining 3.81 per cent at Rs 147.25. The share had closed the overnight session at Rs 141.85.
DLF built up gains of 3.69 per cent to quote at Rs 172.80 as against Rs 166.65 at close yesterday.
IDFC was trading at Rs 176.85. This represented a gain of 3.66 per cent on its previous close at Rs 170.60.

The markets resumed their uptrend today with both the Sensex and the Nifty setting new record highs. Robust fund flows and optimism about the upcoming Budget lifted the Sensex more than 150 points to more than 29,800 points, while the Nifty rose over 40 points to edge close to the 9,000 level. However, profit-booking sales at this point saw the benchmark indices give up their gains to hover around the 29,800 mark and the 8,900 level.
