India, July 29 -- Indian shares traded sharply higher on Wednesday after data showed India's industrial production grew 7.3 percent in June, the fastest in nearly two years, as against 2.2 percent a year ago and 5.1 percent growth reported for May 2026.

Positive global cues also helped underpin investor sentiment ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision later in the day.

The benchmark 30-share BSE Sensex surged 750 points, or 1 percent, to 77,516 in early trade, while the broader NSE Nifty index was up 224 points, or 0.9 percent, at 24,208.
