Q1 results of Tata Motors and their decision to cancel DVR shares and the good results of L&T and the share buy back news are sentientpositive, he added.
BSE Sensex is up 430 points in morning trade on Wednesday at 66,786 points.
L&T up by more than 3 per cent and Reliance Industries up almost 2.50 per cent are leading the market upmove.
