The Nifty 50 index was up 0.32% at 17,952.85 as of 9:28 a.m. IST, while the S&P BSE Sensex rose 0.38% to 60,319.31.

Oil and gas stocks were up as much as 0.53% after the country, a major consumer and importer of oil, cut its windfall tax on crude oil and exports of aviation turbine fuel and diesel.

Shares of Reliance Industries, Oil India Ltd Chennai Petroleum Corp and Mangalore Refinery And Petrochemicals climbed between 0.5% and 4.4%.

However, those gains were capped on relentless outflows of funds from foreign investors.
