Rise in the index heavyweights Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank supported the Sensex.
Around 10.10 a.m., Sensex was trading at 52,661.58, higher by 217.87 points or 0.42 per cent from its previous close of 52,443.71.

Manish Hathiramani, technical analyst with Deen Dayal Investments said: "The markets are trading around the midpoint of the current range which is in between 15,400-15,900. The volumes are soft and the momentum is spiritless. Until we do not get past either of the two levels, the Nifty will not witness a significant move."
