India’s BSE Sensex rose about 1.2% to 75,323 on Monday, extending its gains to a third straight session and reaching its highest level since mid-September, as easing crude oil prices, foreign investor buying and strong corporate earnings boosted sentiment.

Bharat Electronics also reported a 19.7% increase in net profit and 26.5% revenue growth, with its order book standing at 68,717 crore rupees.

Notable gainers included Reliance (6.6%), Bharti Airtel (0.9%), Jio Platforms (1.0%) and Welspun Living (7.0%).
