Mumbai: The BSE Sensex gained for the third straight day today, adding 131 points to close at 19,602, led by Reliance Industries ahead of its fourth quarter results and a firm global trend. Brokers said investor sentiment remained positive on the back of steady FII inflows and expectations of encouraging Q4 earnings from RIL, to be announced this evening. However, lower-than-expected earnings by software major TCS and higher food inflation for the week ended April 9, capped the gains. The 30-share Bombay Stock Exchange index, Sensex, which climbed 380 points in the previous two sessions, added another 131.25 points, or 0.67 per cent to close the day at 19,602.23. The wide-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty also surged 33.05 points, or 0.56 per cent to close at 5,884.70. It touched the session's high of 5,912.90 and a low of 5,864.35. The RIL stocks rose by 1.
