Bulls further tightened their grip on Dalal Street on August 19 as the Indian equity indices extended the gains on fourth straight sessions with Nifty managing to cross 25,000 level, led by buying in heavyweight stocks and broad-based buying, barring pharma. However, the index failed to hold onto 25,000 level amid profit booking at higher levels.

At close, the Sensex was up 370.64 points or 0.46 percent at 81,644.39, and the Nifty was up 103.70 points or 0.42 percent at 24,980.65. The BSE midcap and smallcap indices rose 1 percent each.
