Mumbai: The benchmark BSE Sensex rose over 123 points in early trade Tuesday after sentiments buoyed on the back of strong second quarter earnings posted by RIL and easing retail inflation that dropped to 6.46 percent in September.
Besides, a mixed trend in other Asian markets also influenced the trading sentiment here.
The 30-share index rose by 123.18 points, or 0.47 percent, to 26,507.25, with stocks of oil and gas, banking, PSU and power sectors leading the rise. The gauge had gained 86.69 points in yesterday's volatile session.

Meanwhile, the retail inflation dropped to 6.46 percent in September on falling prices of fruits and vegetables, the lowest since India started computing Consumer Price Index (CPI) in January 2012.
The retail inflation was at 7.73 percent in August, revised downward from the earlier estimate of 7.8 percent.
Bucking the trend, stocks of DLF plunged by 20.48 percent, its biggest single-session fall since September 2013 after the market regulator SEBI barred the company from tapping the capital markets for three years for "active and deliberate suppression" of material information at the time of its IPO.
