Feb 2 (Reuters) - India's benchmark Nifty 50 index hit an all-time high for the fifth time this year on Friday, lifted by gains in Reliance and information technology (IT) stocks, and as the government's fiscal prudence in its budget also boosted sentiment.
The NSE Nifty 50 index (.NSEI) surged to a high of 22,126.80 points in the session before pulling back, due to selling pressure near the close, to settle 0.72% higher at 21,853.80. The S&P BSE Sensex (.BSESN) gained 0.61% to 72,085.63.
