The benchmarks had logged losses for the last five sessions, weighed by weaker-than-expected results from Reliance Industries RELI.NS, Wipro WIPR.NS, Bajaj Finance BJFN.NS, Axis Bank AXBK.NS and Nestle NEST.NS.
The union budget on Tuesday, in which tax hikes on capital gains in equity investments and derivatives trading were announced, continued to bea dampener, analysts said.
The initial adverse response of the equity markets to the budget was "always going to be temporary" as investors would consider the broad policy continuity as a positive, said Ajit Banerjee, chief investment officer at Shriram Life Insurance.
"There wasn't any surprise in revised borrowing numbers or fiscal deficit target, which is favourable for markets," Banerjee added.
Metal index .NIFTYMET gained 2.1% and was the top sectoral gainer by percentage. Thirteen of the 15 constituents rose.
