The Indian benchmark indices ended higher for the third consecutive session on November 12 with Nifty crossing 25,900, intraday, amid buying across the sectors, barring realty.

Positive global cues helped the indices to open gap-up and extended buying helped Nifty to hit day's high of 25,934.55, supported by exit polls of Bihar predicting clear victory for NDA and progress in India-US trade talks.

At close, the Sensex was up 595.19 points or 0.71 percent at 84,466.51, and the Nifty was up 180.85 points or 0.70 percent at 25,875.80.

Broader indices performed inline with the main indices with Nifty Midcap hitting fresh 52-week high of 61,011, while Smallcap index rose 0.8 percent.
