India's benchmark stock index rose, reversing earlier losses, led by banks on a report that the Finance minister signaled he would keep the cost
of borrowing at a record low.

Housing Development Finance Corp., the largest mortgage lender, rose 3.6 per cent.
Wipro Ltd., the No. 3 software services provider, gained 2.5 per cent to its highest in almost 2 1/2 years after it said it won a three-year contract from US-based Aquarion Water Co.
