Positive global cues and buying in banking, IT (information technology) and capital goods stocks pushed the Indian equity markets to fresh highs during the mid-afternoon trade session on Monday. Equity benchmarks started-off on a strong note with both equity benchmark indices hitting record highs. Global cues and buying support aided in the markets' rise, pointed out market analysts. On the NSE, there were 966 advances, 515 declines and 472 unchanged. On the BSE, there were 1,554 advances, 1,090 declines and 165 unchanged. 

Full-fledged trading resumed on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) during the mid-afternoon session on Monday after a technical glitch impacted trading during an early-morning session. The stock exchange said that the technical glitch impacted trading on its Cash and Future and Option (F&O) segment during the early-morning trade session, and that the glitch has been resolved. The NSE said that all its market segments were operational as of 12.30 p.m. An earlier statement from the bourse said: "Due to technical reasons in cash market, trading has been stopped in both Cash and F&O segment of the NSE. The technical team of NSE is looking into the issue." However, stock brokers contacted by IANS said that though the trading has resumed some minor issues in the Cash segment remained. "It has restarted now. The problem seems to be resolved. However, some minor display issues on the cash segment are still there. The Futures segment is operating seamlessly," a stock broker told IANS here. According to the broker, the problem about price updation and "placing of orders" started during the early phase of the day's trade session. "Afterwards, we were informed by the NSE that trade will restart at 10.15 a.m. and then at 11.00 a.m.," the broker said. The technical glitch was noticed after the NSE stock rates were not in tandem with BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) scrip prices.

After a huge fall in sugar production 2016-17, that forced the import of 500,000 tonnes, official and industry circles expect the upcoming "sugar year" to be sweeter, thanks to a good monsoon and signals of better yield from the field. According to the officials in the Agriculture Ministry and organisations representing private and cooperative sugar factories, output in 2017-18 (the "sugar year" starts from October) is to cross 25 million tonnes, almost 25% higher than in 2016-17. "Most of the water reservoirs in the sugarcane-producing states, especially in Maharashtra, are filled to their normal level. In addition, the cultivation area in Uttar Pradesh is likely to be increased. As per the inputs from the state Cane Commissioners, we are expecting the output to go above 25 million tonnes," said a senior official, who requested anonymity.
