Benchmark stock market indices opened higher on Tuesday helped by a rise in heavyweight financial and IT stocks.

Hyundai Motor India's much awaited listing had a disappointing start on Tuesday, debuting at a 1.5% discount to its issue price of Rs 1,960. The stock opened at Rs 1,931 on the BSE and Rs 1,934 on the NSE, missing investor expectations due to market volatility and concerns over the company’s valuation.

The S&P BSE Sensex gained 153.24 points to 81,304.51, while the NIfty50 added 36.80 points to 24,817.90 as of 10:10 AM.
