Indian equity benchmarks started Tuesday's session on a positive note though volatility prevailed amid the increasing cases of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in the county.

The Sensex index rose as much as 313.5 points to 59,496.7 in morning deals, and the broader Nifty50 benchmark climbed to as high as 17,707.3, up 81.6 points from its previous close. Both indices mostly held on to opening gains though selling pressure in IT and pharma stocks played spoilsport.

Equities across other Asian markets were steady on Tuesday despite a record high in the S&P 500 overnight. MSCI's broadest index of Asia Pacific shares outside Japan was flat at the last count.

Japan's Nikkei 225 was up 1.4 percent and Singapore's Straits Times 0.7 percent. South Korea's KOSPI down half a percent and China's Shanghai Composite 0.6 percent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was flat.

S&P 500 futures were flat in Asia on Tuesday.

Wall Street scaled a new peak on Monday, with the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones closing 0.6-0.7 percent higher and the technology stocks-heavy Nasdaq Composite surging 1.2 percent.
