After opening in red the Indian markets managed to end near day’s high point today. L&T and HDFC were among major gainers on Sensex today. L&T has reported 42.5% YoY increase in its Q2 FY13 NPAT. The company has reported a net profit of Rs 1,137 crore as compared to the street expectation of Rs 893 crore. The increase in NPAT is mainly attributed to an exceptional gain.
