The volatility on Dalal Street remained high with the benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, gyrating between gains and losses as the narrow win for BJP-led NDA raised concerns about policy continuity.

As per reports, BSE Sensex was trading over 1,400 points higher at 73,500 and Nifty topped 22,350 points. Both indices were up 2 percent.

S&P BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty 50 closed nearly 6 percent lower each on Tuesday after BJP won 240 seats and fell short of the 272 seats needed for a simple majority in the Lok Sabha.
