The gauge had lost 175.51 points in Thursday’s trade.

National Stock Exchange’s Nifty too rose by 34.75 points or 0.44% to 7,883.60.

Dealers said building up of positions by participants ahead of key economic data - industrial production (IIP) for March and consumer price index (CPI) for April - to be released after market closing on Thursday, influenced the sentiment.

However, weakness at other Asian markets, which saw more losses following overnight sell-off in New York on weak earnings, restricted the upmove here.

While Japan’s Nikkei was down 0.41%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng shed 0.48 per in early trade on Thursday. China’s main Shanghai Composite Index was also down by 0.61%.

The US Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 1.21% lower in Wednesday’s trade.
