The barometer 30-scrip Sensitive Index (Sensex) of the BSE, which opened at 33,030.87 points, closed at 33,255.36 points -- up 286.68 points, or 0.87 per cent, from its previous session's close.

Last Wednesday, both the key indices had closed on a lower note on the back of negative global markets, amid volatility infused by March futures and options (F&O) expiry.
