Outstanding P-Note Investment was at Rs 1.24 lakh crore as on October 31. Buying was seen across all the sectors; oil & gas, banking, metal, FMCG, technology and select infrastructure were the leading sectors. About 0.5% gain in European markets was also supporting the markets.

To protect the farmers' interest in case of sugar prices, Mamata Banerjee said UPA (United Progressive Alliance) decided to repeal clause 3 (B) and mills would pay sugar FRP-SAP (fair & remunerative price - state advisory price) difference. This means states may be exempted from bearing FRP and SAP difference.
